priming oil pump, cam sensor placement

[V6UnderPressure]

ok, I know the procedure, and I have the caspers tool. So....how about I turn the crank until its at 25 degrees TDC (i believe this is the setting) and the cam sensor tool is lit. Then remove the cam sensor, and prime it. Reinstall the cam sensor and turn until the light is back on. Then lock. This should work right? Are there any small parts I need to be careful when removing the cam sensor???

That sounds ok to me, I just did this with my car using the tool
and it fired right up. no other small parts that I can think of.

Couple points to clerify.
It's 25° ATDC (after top dead center)

and make SURE that you're at this point on the compression stroke (both valves closed) and NOT on the exhaust stroke (ther are two TDC's).
