Get the intake out your way and intercooler pipe. Deep socket and maybe a small extension. Not to bad. Some say they use a long extension and go through the wheel well.

CMP sensors don't fail often. It's right behind the power steering pump and you can't even see it, I've done them on a lift and was able to reach back there and do it by braille with the PS pump in place, maybe if you get the PS pump out of the way it probably be easier. Just done break it off, use fineness. The crank position sensor is even worse to do.

Long extensions and from underneath. Use 1/4 drive it gets around a little easier. if it makes you feel better the crank position sender is way worse.

Rotate the tensioner to take pressure off the belt. Then you can unbolt the power steering pump and move it just enough to get to the sensor. You will have to search for the PS pump mounting bolts as one or two of them are not visible.

Long 8mm bolt for the sensor and 10mm for the pump

A good universal and extension it can be done from underneath without removing anything. Worst part is restarting the bolt by feel.
