You remove the belt or betls off the crankshaft pulley. Remove the crankshaft pulley with a crankshaft pulley puller. Remove the old pin, reinstall new pin, then the pulley. Torque to spec and put belts back on
The crankshaft position sensor is located on the front case/oil pump. You will need to remove the crank pulley (aka harmonic balancer) and then the timing covers. Once you get the lower cover off you will see the sensor.

Hello, crank position sensor located at the 2 o`clock position hidden behind timing cover and crank shaft pulley. If you look closely in well lit area or use a flashlight you can follow the (CCPS) harness down the right hand side of timing cover to where it goes into lower timing cover on lower right hand side of crank shaft pulley. It can be replaced with out removing timing belt. Please note if the 60,000 miles heavy service interval for timing belt is needed and water pump condition should be observed when repairing the crank position sensor.
the camshaft position sensor is located behind the harmonice balancer remove balancer and timing cover once removed you will see it u will also have to remove the crank gear and timing belt be sure to reset the timing or mark the gears before removal hope this helps
Timing belt “B” (balancer belt) and related components—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the engine under cover.
Remove the crankshaft damper pulley.
Disconnect the control wiring harness connector, battery wiring harness connector and connector bracket to engine mounting insulator.
Remove the harness bracket. Remove the upper timing belt cover. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the idler pulley.
Remove the auto tensioner. Remove the lower timing belt cover.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align each timing mark to set the number one piston to TDC of its compression stroke.
Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug and then install special tool MD998738. Screw the special tool until it contacts the timing belt tensioner arm.
NOTE
The special tool must be screwed in gradually at the rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod will not easily retract and the tool may bend.
Gradually screw in the special tool and then align the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” with the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder set hole “B”.
Insert a wire or pin in the set holes to lock the assembly in place. After removing the special tool, loosen the timing belt tensioner pulley mounting bolts and remove the timing belt. If the belt is being reused be sure to mark the direction of rotation (clockwise) on the belt.
Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley, tensioner arm and adjuster.
Remove the timing belt idler pulley. Remove the timing belt lower cover bracket. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
Remove the crankshaft pulley center bolt and washer. Remove the drive sprocket. Remove the crankshaft angle sensing blade.
Remove the balancer timing belt tensioner. Remove the timing belt “B” (balancer belt) from its mounting.
Timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” and cylinder set hole “B”—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
To install:
Belt tension checking—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Cylinder block plug location—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Timing belt sprocket alignment—2002–2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
This will take about 3-4 hours. If you look at the drive belts, they will all have to be taken off to get to the timing belt. The engine crankshaft has to be positioned for marks to line-up. The crankshaft will have to be prevented from turning so you can take off its drive pulley. Rotate until the alignment cylinder is near TDC, remove sparkplug, then packing a small rope on top of the piston prevents the engine from turning.. Once you change one timing belt, you will never buy another car with a timing belt again. You can get a manual on eBay.
