It is on the passenger side of the bell housing. Tough to see, moderatly hard to replace.
if you are facing the engine it will be on the left upperside of the crank pully, on a target wheel. is it hard to remove and replace
Very difficult. The rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft. To replace them correctly you have to remove the entire motor and tear it down. This is a task best accomplished by a automotive machine shop.
It is just about the hardest most difficult part of an engine to replace. The engine has to come out. The head has to be taken off. The rod of the piston has to be disconnected from the crankshaft. the top of the cylinder has to have a ridge reamer operated on it to get the piston out.

Well first off you have 4 02 sensors on your truck. So what one are you looking to replace. Bank 1 or 2, sensor 1 or 2. You will also need a special socket likley. Other wise a 22mm wrench (7/8 inch is about the same).
The crankshaft position sensor must be behind the timing belt cover next to the crankshaft and behind the crankshaft pulley. The camshaft position sensor is again under the timing belt cover next to the camshaft and behind and the camshaft pulley. Is it the same place in 2000 Camry 4Cyl? Do you have pictures of the location? Hard or easy to replace, and what tools do I need? Thanks alot
Sometimes the car will stall, or you might have it where it is hard to start. My check engine light came on, and it is always best to change both sensors at same time, usually if one goes the other is going.
