Cam Sensor Replacement
Hello,
What is the best way to change the cam sensor on these engines? I believe mine is leaking oil based on some general wetness below it and oil dripping off of the bell housing but I can't find an angle where I can see it clearly let alone replace it. Do you have to remove the power steering pump?

I just did mine a few weeks back, It didn't need the power steering pump removed, just the air filter because it seemed easier from the top, although it could be reached from the bottom. I think it's an 8mm bolt and I used a 1/4 inch drive with a swivel and long extension to get it. It's a little tricky to put it out because of it being long meaning the sensor. Probably the O ring is leaking if you're getting oil from it. I just put a New O ring on and it was good. I'd check wires from it for chafing mine had some. Good luck with it, shouldn't take long.

No I have a kit that I think is from Harbor Freight or Home Depot I've had it a while. It's got a hundred or so different sizes. You should be able to find a kit at a auto parts store also. I think it's $10-15 for a kit and you'll have extras for future use.
