Yeah, the bolt on the front eccentric shaft has a normal thread. I was wondering that too one mine since it was so hard to get off. I locked the engine from rotating and my cousin and I just ripped on the front bolt with a breaker bar and got it to come off. Maybe try an impact wrench. Keep trying, you'll get it eventually.
