Is that the adjustment nut for the balance shaft belt?

You'll get it sorted. Fingers crossed he has a flameless induction tool as they are perfect for these jobs. If worst comes to the worst I think the adjuster bolt is threaded on both ends, it should screw out of the block.

He managed to get it off just fund out the oil pump needs sealing
