When you move the camber bolt in the hole, the control arm moves. The other one is for locking the postion. Toe is adjusted by moving the uniball at the end. Also put the larger hole at the top to enough with camber.

In my experience through trial and error.
Slotted hole up = up to -3.0 camber
Slotted hole down = barely -1.2 camber
The tie-rod assembly toward the spherical bearing = toe adjustment.
The rear eccentric = camber adjustment, like OE plates
The middle eccentric = formerly used for toe adjustment, does not need to be reinstalled.
EDIT: Corrected eccentric identification

Oops! I think I got the eccentric position confused. Just by looking at the OE and ERP plates side by side you can tell which eccentric is no longer in use. It's definitely the camber eccentric that is retained. The ERP plate doesn't have a hole to accommodate the toe eccentric.
What happens if you put a hex key on the stuck eccentric and try to turn it w/ some hard blows?

^^^^ heat, heat and more heat is the trick here. The hex key is only 10mm so I wouldn't get too medieval on it. Get yourself a gas torch and get the area smokin hot.
