Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cam Position Sensor

[Turbo Tim 1]

OK, so last night I decide I am going to change out my cam position sensor because the tach was acting squirrely and I had set P0340 code. I didn't get the job done but from wiggling around the electrical connector the problem seems to be gone but I still want to replace the sensor. HOW THE FRIG DO I GET THE SUCKER OUT? My fat little fingers don't fit in there too well. What size is the allen head on the screw? Do you do it from the bottom or top? Lots of extentions and universals? What is the story, I figured it would be a nice little 30-45 minute job, an hour later I hadn't made any progress and needed to get home (I was at work, small tool selection limited). If someone can tell me their secret to success I will bring in my tools from home and do the job. Thanks

Thanks for the link, I didn't see that one when I looked around. I had gone as far as taking the intake horn off and the APPS to try to make contact with the bolt, sounds like I need to go a little further and rip out the battery and intake tube, thanks for the info, gonna let my arms heal up a little and try this again.
