I can't find anything on where the crankshaft position sensor is for the vehicles listed above 955.

Sure, the crankshaft position sensor is on the lower part of the engine block on the driver's side (left). Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

What has to be removed to get to it?

The bottom engine undertrays, but you will need to get the car up in the air on jackstands to see if you can gain access to the sensor. They don't tell us if anything needs to be removed but you can get an idea.
