This looks like a total overkill to get to the knock sensor. Are there any short cuts and/or anything else I should replace while I'm at it. I have an 03 S with 110,000 miles.

Coolant hoses would be a good idea. aand the coolant blocking plate. Give The Pelican Parts parts specialists a call at 1-888-280-7799. They can figure out what part or repair kit you need.

Can shoot me your vin and a valid email address and I can have a quote sent to you for the additional parts to replace while you're in there for the job. :)
