Replacing the knock sensor on a 2002 Subaru can be moderately challenging, primarily due to its location, which often requires removing components like the intake manifold for access. While it's not the most complicated task, it does require some mechanical knowledge and tools. If you're comfortable with basic automotive repairs and have a repair manual, you should be able to complete the job with patience. Otherwise, seeking professional help may be advisable.

how do I disconnect the Electrical connection on knock sensor
It only involves one bolt and one wire, but its pretty difficult to access as it lives under the throttlebody.
In a 1998 Subaru Legacy, the knock sensor is located on the top of the engine block and to the left of the engine. More specifically, it is under the left rear intake manifold runner.
