Re: cam shaft sensor replacement
No big deal to remove the pump, just a couple of bolts. Don't need to take the lines off or anything, just unbolt it and tip the whole thing out far enough to clear your sensor.

Re: cam shaft sensor replacement
PS, take the belt off so you can turn the pulley, you have to access the bolts through the holes in the pulley...

Re: cam shaft sensor replacement
There is a plastic clip that holds the power steering lines out of trouble on the back of the motor. Pop the lines out of that clip to give you a little more flexibility in moving the pump out of the way.
