How to replace Camshaft Position Sensor?

I got the 0101 code and want to know if Camshaft Position Sensor can be replaced easily. Anyone have a picture showing where it is?

Thanka a lot.

its on the side of the timing chain cover on the passenger side. one 10mm bolt and a push-in clip. easy swap in, swap out, takes 5 minutes. search on google or invest in a haynes manual, it should provide directions and pictures.

it'll take 4 minutes and 38 seconds to figure out how to push in the clip for it to release

Is it easier to take off the bolt first and then try to release the clip? I am waiting for the part which will be here Monday morning. I tried to push in the pin with the sensor screwed on, it's quite hard. I didn't get the clip out. I'll leave it on until I get the new sensor. Need to drive the car to the dealership for the part and hopefully it won't die on the way.
