Has anyone replaced the cam shaft positioning sensor o ring on a 5sfe? I know where it is but its in a hard place to work on it. Any tips?

i don't think there is an o ring for that sensor, last time i saw 97 camry 5sfe, it is outside of the engine, for reading the cam gear teeth. but there is a cam shaft seal that goes behind the cam gear, timing belt and cam gear need to come off to access that seal.

the camshaft positioning sensor is in the back of the engine. It looks like it is installed on a bracket.I have already change the cam shaft seal.
