Default Anyone ever install a crank positioning sensor?

I am going to replace mine- anyone have any advise, or possibly a walkthrough? How difficult is this to do?

Just don't crank the engine while the sensor is off. I found out the hard way along time ago with my Grand National.

Jack the front of the car up and place on jackstands. Disconnect battery. Pull the starter. Pull the sensor. Lube the sensor before installing. Torque to 18 lb. ft. Reinstall the starter. Reconnect battery. Jack car down.

ok, so the starter does have to be pulled- which means I will probably also have to pull the LT headers.... I'll give it a shot tommorow
