Default Anyone replace a knock sensor before?

My 2000 2.8 (AHA engine code) has code 16711 - PO327 - Knock Sensor error. I did the check from Bentley and pins 1 and 2 are shorted. The manual tells me to replace the knock sensor, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the instructs. I do know I need to remove the intake manifold, but I can't seem to find instructs on that either. I can find it on the 2.7 and the 4.2 but not the 2.8. Anyone done this operation before, and can point me in the rigfht direction?

My manual says on the V6 models one knock sensor is located on each side of the engine block underneath the intake manifold. Looks like they are almost centered on the engine on each side.
