Default Knock sensor?

Evening all I have a new knock sensor on order as my Subaru code is reading that my knock sensor is faulty. I'm just wondering is it an easy fix that I can do (very limited mechanical knowledge) but willing to have a go if so where is the sensor located or do I need to take it to a garage for it to be done? Thanks in advance.

Nm = Newton metres ..........as Ducko says you need a torque wrench to tighten it up Halfords do some quite nice tools (don't laugh) if you have one nearby and can't be bothered to search around.
