In case you didn't grasp this from the prior posts. The 6mm bolt that holds them in is basically a countersink screw, which expands the collets as it's tightened. However you're working it from the opposite end from normal, so to push the head deeper into the bar and loosen the collet, you turn the screw to the right.
