replacing camshaft seal

ok I have a leak coming from that area. I went to pep boys and bought a seal set which comes with 2 seals. 1 blue and 1 black, I see where the blue one goes but where does the black one go? Do I loosen the hex type bolt on the camshaft?

I'm assuming it is the sprocket end? Without a link/pics it is hard to say, but I will assume one is for the CPS and one for the belt end. One should be about 2" in diameter (CPS) and the other maybe 1.5" in dia.? (Belt end)

We'll yea, I only have the battery out and was able to get the sensor removed with just that. Now I have seals in my new packet. A standard slim blue seal, and a black seal with a circular spring on the back of it, and I dont see where it goes.

[I'm above the throttle body, in between the head and the battery]

That one would require removal of the cam sprocket. May as well slap on a timing belt while you're there. Or save it for when you do the belt.

I'm guessing the thin one goes in the CPS.
With out seeing it, only a guess.

The sprocket side seal is much harder to get installed too. Its the same type of seal as the crankshaft/oil pump seal.
