I need to replace my crankshaft position sensor. I'm being told it's extremely hard to get to. Where exactly is it located? And how do i change it?

Good morning,

I attached a picture of the location of the sensor for you and the procedure for replacement.

Removal Procedure
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to [Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle].
2. If equipped with all wheel drive (AWD), remove the transfer case. Refer to [Transfer Case Assembly Replacement].
