How to replace a Camshaft Position Sensor in a Porsche Boxster

[Stl-986]

Think it's the same on all of the engines...and it's a pain. Have to take the AOS out. Removing the pump may not help much. Remember, it is a hex head, not a torx head and can be in there pretty good. Dont strip it or you will be in for a lot of fun

Thanks. Ouch, removing the AOS is not what I am hoping to have to do. I take it all the work is done from the top of the engine, not the bottom?

EDIT: I looked at Wayne's book and it describes the AOS removal. He recommends disconnecting the bottom flex hose from the underside of the car.

Here's a video from a few years ago showing removing/replacing the AOS on a 2000 Boxster with manual transmission, mostly from below.
