Hyundai Repair: crankshaft positioning sensor, 2002 hyundai sonata, hyundai sonata

Question
how hard is it to replace the crankshaft positioning sensor on a 2002 hyundai sonata 4cyl 16 valve?

Answer
This sensor mounts behind the timing belt at the crankshaft sprocket.  You should count on removing the timing belt to replace the sensor.  This is one of the more difficult timing belts to do, so if you're not comfortable with replacing a timing belt, you should probably leave this job to a professional.
