    Do I need to remove the harmonic balancer to get to the crankshaft position sensor?

    You'll need M6 x 1.0 bolts to do it too.

    Easy getting off, not as fun torquing it down to specs on jack stands.

    FWIW Im pretty sure if you search on "Easy" and my SN you'll find a how to on it. It'll list the tools etc. If you have air, you'll be done in under 15 min.

    I will add this (in case its not in Bill's how-to)- Make sure you line up the crankshaft key and the balancer BEFORE you reinstall it with an impact. It shoud go on by hand a bit so you know it's lined up. If not then you might not have a great day.
