Eccentric shaft lock bolt removal

Help the newbie please! I've set the stage (photo upload failed - I'll try later) - prepped the area and scrounged every tool I could beg, borrow, or buy.

I've watched the videos I could find - I've read the FSM (which says to replace the Eccentric shaft lock bolt) - BUT...

Can someone please advise as to how to loosen this bolt? I tried an impact wrench to no avail. My guess is that its got threadlocker on it and that heat is the solution - but I'd rather hear from those who know BEFORE I screw up. If so - how high (propane/MAP/acetylene) & how long? If not, then what?

I'm kinda desperately wanting to see what the mice did while living inside. How they got there is another question as the car had a full exhaust attached.
