Do a search of the site. There are actually two knock sensors - one for each bank of cylinders. The passenger's side one isn't all that bad to get to. The driver's side requires a lot of patience. You'll have to remove the alternator to get to them.

The easy (and probably more costly) way would be to remove the intake.

The way I changed mine was to tape 2 wrenches locked together for the added reach.
