If I am right the sensor should be on the right side next the battery and is real easy to change

the CAMSHAFT sensor is the one near the top of the motor, right by the battery...that one is easy, but I'm not sure where the CRANKSHAFT sensor is....

Straight from the Haynes manual.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle and place it on jacksatnds.
3. On 2003 and latter models, remove the structural collar.(i have no clue what that is is say reference oil pan removal and installation I'm assuming some type of skid pad or brace.)
4.Disconnect the ckp sensor electrical connector.
5. Remove the CKP sensor retaining bolt.

Seems easy to me, I will try to add the pics in a minute.
