i have not worked on subaru in about 4 years
but
if i remember correctly the knock sensor is in the block to the left of center and

My Mom could replace it without too much drama
it is important to clean the mounting surface and to torque the fastener to the correct torque

a fault set for the knock sensor will greatly reduce your FE and overall enjoyment of driving the car -

my mom could also replace the timing belt , i can do that with my eyes closed literally ....
so even a pure rookie such as your self should be able to replace it on a saturday , begin to end with a few tools and correct instructions
