Progress - but stuck at last step

Can't get the timing device out. I performed every step in the FSM through step 11, but now I'm stuck.

I don't think it's the chain, but at the 5 o'clock position, it seems as though there's something in the housing that's preventing the chain from completely escaping the teeth. But again, I don't think that's the problem. There's about 1/4 inch where the device can move forward and back, and even when pulled fully forward, there's still a gap between the chain and the housing.

Edit: I guess the thing at 5 o'clock is a guide rail, and I forgot to remove that pin.

I'm still unclear what the remaing portion of the broken bolt is attached to. If it's not attached to the device itself, I would think the device should pull right out. If it's attached to the device AND anything else, the bolt piece is probably what holding it up. Looking at the diagram, I would assume that the bolt is in the bushing only, and if so, I don't know why the timing device can't come out.

Thanks
