Hi FCM,

Here is the procedure and the location. Looks like it is just above the oil filter, just next to the crank pulley. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks

Here are the official instructions, hope this helps!
1. Move the auto-tensioner to remove tension from the alternator belt, then remove the alternator belt.
2. Loosen the adjusting bolt, locknut and mounting bolt, then remove the Power Steering (P/S) pump belt.
3. Remove the dipstick and tube.
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
5. Remove the upper and lower covers.
6. Remove the CKP sensor from the oil pump.
7. Install the CKP sensor in the reverse order of removal.
