If you will re-read the following two paragraphs of the instructions and especially the
bold,
Italics and
underlined portion of the sentences, you should be able to answer your own questions.

Using an awl or small screwdriver clean all of the excess/broken plastic & gunk out of the hole (this is the most time consuming part. Use a mirror so you are sure to get all of it removed. This is critical. Will be able to see cam through hole when done. Then clean thoughly with carb cleaner or something similar that won't leave a residue.
Once started in the hole, remove the socket and push it in with your finger until you feel the arms bottom in the recess (will see what I mean when cleaning the hole). Make certain it is in far enough to clear the timing cover (not by much) when the cam rotates. When seated all the way, it will be.

Step by step replacement
1) Start as if you were going to replace the water pump except do not take any water pump bolts out.
- remove serpentine belt, water pump pulley, and any resovoirs that block access.
2) Disconnect wire from cam sensor
3) Remove cam sensor bolt
4) Remove can sensor - Will probably need a mirror to see in hole
5) Rotate engine until either interrupter or hole where interrupter once was in cam sprocket is visible
- rotate either with key off and out with breaker bar on crank bolt (easier with plugs removed)
- or by bumping starter with plug wires disconnected (hard to stop in right place)
6) If interrupter is missing then continue else check sensor for continuity
7) Remove any remnants (can use an awl) and clean the hole in the sprocket and surrounding area *thoroughly*
8) Proceed as in article to modify new interrupter and JB Weld in place
9) Allow to dry overnight before replacing sensor
10) Replace everything you took off
