Conservative having to fix pain, taking hour outside (5-6)

I believe the answer is:

right-winger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conservative' is the definition.
(I know that right-winger is a type of conservative)

'to fix pain taking hour outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'fix' could be 'right' and 'right' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'winger' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for right-winger that I've seen before include "Blue" , "team member" .)
