The timing belt and water pump were replaced but now the check engine light is on. We were told by the mechanic it's the crankshaft sensor.

Need to remove PS drive belt and use pulley remover to remove pulley from pump. Hold pump and rotate nut on pulley remover. Remove pulley, pump from bracket then bracket.

Why are you removing this for anyway? If you're replacing the crank sensor then you don't need to remove it. Just remove the drive belt and crankshaft pulley. Remove outer timing belter cover and rotate keyway on crankshaft to 10 o'clock position. Make sure vane window of inner and outer vane cups are placed over crank sensor, remove crankshaft hub. Remove sensor mounting screws and slide wires out past timing belt cover and remove sensor with wire harness retainer.
