Question Cam Shaft Senor

I have a '95 V6 Ford Ranger that has a service engine light that indicates that a Cam shaft senor is bad. Well we went and bought a new senor from Advance Auto. During the process of changing the old senor we found that the magnitic bar in side of the senor had fell off and destroyed the what I think is called the trigger wheel.

My question is what is the Cam shaft senor sitting on and how hard, expensive is it to replace that part? Any info is helpful

Thanks...

If you read through this thread, you will find some good information on the cam sensor & synchronizer shaft:

I just replaced mine and it is not that hard to do. It takes a special alignment tool, but if you look on some of the other threads, I am sure it would not be difficult to put the new shaft in without the tool. Look on the 3.0 forum for camshaft position sensor. I put some good info about it there.
