How to replace rear top engine mount on a 1999 s70 volvo. Also once the mount is off, would it be easier to replace camshaft sensor?

The top mount is very easy to do if you take the torque rod off (just 2 screws on each side), so you will have plenty of room to do the sensor, while you are at it

On a '99 the torque mount should be an aluminum casting that bolts down on the cam cover, with three bolts as I recall. The cam sensor on the '99 and '00 is a bit different than the earlier cars and it bolts into a nipple off of the sensor cap that extends upward and toward the firewall. I seem to remember that it is pretty easy to get to even with the upper torque arm still in place but I had it apart with the engine out of the car.
