Camshaft Sensor
I need to replace my cam sensor ( well, not me, but a relative. ). When i bought the part they printed out the wrong instruction sheet, andIt's not exactlyeasy for me to go back out. Is there any place online that would tell me the process here? Oh, and for s&g, what's your opinion on how hard this is?

RE: Camshaft Sensor
IF IT IS A HEMI.
REMOVAL
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.7L V-8 engine is located on right side of timing chain cover below generator.[*]Disconnect electrical connector at CMP sensor.
[ol][/ol][*]Remove sensor mounting bolt .[*]Carefully twist sensor from cylinder head.[*]Check condition of sensor O-ring.
[ol][/ol]
INSTALLATION
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.7L V-8 engine is bolted to the right/front side of the timing chain cover.[*]Clean out machined hole in cylinder head.[*]Apply a small amount of engine oil to sensor O-ring.[*]Install sensor into cylinder head with a slight rocking action. Do not twist sensor into position as damage to O-ring may result. CAUTION : Before tightening sensor mounting bolt, be sure sensor is completely flush to timing chain cover. If sensor is not flush, damage to sensor mounting tang may result.[*]Install mounting bolt and tighten. Refer to Torque Specifications.[*]Connect electrical connector to sensor.

IF IT IS A 4.7
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L V-a engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cylinder head.[*]Raise and support vehicle.[*]Disconned electrical connector at CMP sensor.[*]Remove sensor mounting bolt.[*]Carefully twist sensor from cylinder head.[*]Check condition of sensor O-ring.
