Knock sensor's bad, how hard is it to change?

My computer's telling me my #1(fwd) knock sensor is bad. How hard is this to change? I have never done much work on my car, or any car, but can fix just about anything thats wrong with an airplane. Any help on how to get this done? I need to get it changed before Sunday because I'm driving it to NY from NC for a funeral.

It's not that hard, you have to remove the intake. When taking off the intake take the vac hose from the brake booster and follow it behind the intake, When pulling the intake foward watch that hose doesent brake the oil pressure sending unit. Here some instructions for ya.

Am I going to need any new gaskets or seals when I put it back together?
