I am finding it impossible to get to the knock sensor on my altima? Should I remove parts to get to it, or break down and take car to auto shop?

don't worry about it, its a non check engine light item.
Yea, but it will make it run the timing retarded. I'd change it if it comes back on a reset.
Ever heard of a "repair manual"? Go buy one. Most auto shops carry one for specific make and model cars. You can also get one from a Nissan car dealer. Which is more expensive but usu. better.
Yes, you have to remove parts to get to it. For some Nissan vehicles dealers have what they call a knock sensor replacement kit, which includes the knock sensor and the other seals/gaskets that you need to replace when removing parts to gain access to the KS.
Good luck
