How did you tackle replacing this? From above or below? Where is it located back there?

I have to replace it on my 300E as its doing the same thing. (Stalled out at a light and wouldn't start up for 10 minutes or so)....threw code #7 immediately....Crank Sensor Signal. So I ordered one and it should be here Monday or Tuesday probably....
