has anyone ever done it? I don't know why, but my knock sensor is pretty dead in the middle of the thing. I can barely see it with a flashlight! Anyone done it before?

It is much, much more hassle to take the manifolds and injectors off than it is to just reach in from the side.
It takes about 20 minutes tops if you go in from the side. It will take you about 3 hours, minimum, to get the manifolds on and off.

With a little elbow grease, you'll have it out in no time flat.

No need to take the manifold off. I used the instructions from here:

They came in very handy. My 9 year old son helped me put in the new KS. He has thin arms and got the thread started, I just covered all the sharp edges with rags so he would not get any cuts. Car felt great afterwards .
