It's called a bar end weight. Pretty sure the GZ's are all the same going back to about 1995.

At the end of that long bolt.........inside the bar........is a rubber expansion plug, a nut and a washer.

Too late now, but the key is to only loosen the bolt a bit and then PULL the whole assembly out as one piece.

If you unscrew it too far, the nut falls off behind the rubber plug and then you are screwed.

Some people have been able to fish the pieces out.....with a bent coat hanger or similar.
