Jeep Cherokee 2001 Camshaft sensor replacement?

I am getting the code to replace camshaft sensor. Getting frequent stallings, poor transmission shifting at times and hard starting. Do I need to just pop off the 2 screws and replace it. I have read a number of forums to remove the oil pump drive but that seems excessive. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
