Question '98 2.4L Timing chain tensioner shoe... help

I have dug into the 2.4L attempting to remove the timing chain housing. I have followed all directions in the reapir manual, I have removed all the bolts specified in the manual. I have removed the tensioner w/piston but I cannot figure out how to remove the timing chain tensioner shoe. The TC housing is loose and wants to come off, but the stud that the shoe pivots on has a round head (as apposed to a hex head) with crosshairs in the center of the head. I cant figure out how to remove that stud, it seems to be the last thing holding the housing to the engine block. The repair manuals I have searched show this stud with a simple "C" clip at the tip (easy enough) and dont mension anything about what I actually see here. The chain is off, the bolts are removed, so close... please help.
