definitely NOT
but you need to block movement or rotation of engine, best done by removing flywheel cover and clamp flywheel with vice grips-that will prevent the rotation after slight rotation and lockup. Nut on front is tight and will take 1/2@ breaker bar and a cheater pipe. Haven't seen a impact that will break those nuts

Behind the harmonic balancer. You will need to remove the right front tire, remove the access panel to the engine (through the wheel well), remove engine belt, remove harmonic balancer & pulley with a puller. Remove & replace crank sensor, align sensor with an alignment tool, replace balancer with an installer tool.. BE VERY careful with the balancer, the backside of it has a hall effect style blades. bending these blades will junk the balancer.
