yOUR SENSOR IS BEHIND THE TIMING COVER BETWEEN THE CAM PULLEYS
1 REMOVE COVER THAT GOES OVER THE SPARKPLUG LEADS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE 2 SCREWS
LOOK DOWN ON THE ROCKER COVER AND THE WIRING IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE
2 REMOVE TOP TIMING COVER (ITS EASYER TO REMOVE THE AIR FILTER HOUSING )
3 THE SENSOR IS BETWEEN THE 2 CAM PULLEYS HELD IN PLACE WITH ONETORX SCREW
NO NEED TO REMOVE TIMING BELT OR PULLEYS

THE SENSOR PULLS OUT FROM THE TOP INSTALL NEW ONE THE SAME WAY...
