not hard at all.. you're gonna need a 10 or 12mm socket and a ratchet.. the knock sensor is located between the 2 sides of the lower intake manifold.. if your intake is stock, you might need to remove it.. if you're standing on the driver side of the car facing the engine bay, look down between the 2 sides of the lower intake manifold, and you should see it attached to a clip, which is attached to a wire.. unscrew the bolt with the ratchet, un-clip the old sensor, clip the new one in, bolt it up, and you're good to go
