Hi

I think once the square bolt is out you will find it holds the cam bearing with an unthreaded portion at its end.  

The typical repair is to drill and then tap the brass bearing. Then replace with a cap head bolt and fibre or Dowty washer.  The replacement bolt needs to be the right length so as not to bear on the camshaft.

This site details the repair better than I can explain  Smile.
