Knock sensor error code P0325

2004 3.5L Vue

I know this has been discussed before but I'm still a bit confused. Got a CEL the other day, went to Autozone and they read a P0325 error. Got home and immediately ordered a replacement, arriving tomorrow. After reading all I could find here and on Y-tube, it appears there is 1 and only 1 knock sensor on the car, described by Autozone as being located in Bank 1 (which I thought was on the firewall side of the car). I haven't been able to find a good video or 'write up' on how to replace the sensor. If it does entail removing several pieces off the topside of the engine I think I'll try a couple other options (gas additive, tank of higher octane fuel) before tackling what appears to be a several hour job for an amateur like myself. P.S. I have a car inspection due by end of May.

Any help would be appreciated.

To the left of EGR if that helps.https://www.dropbox.com/s/9yqscq7ayh...ensor.gif?dl=0

Thanks Jeffrey and thanks to 'far2grumpy' for sending me PDF's of the steps required to get to the sensor.
