Been there. Done that.

Make sure you know where the knock is coming from - I had one and it was a
bad small end bushing. Sliding in new bearings won't help there!

It's very possible. Some of the pan bolts are kind of a pain to get at, but
all are sufficiently accessible. I'd recommend pulling the head and removing
the pistons/rods and checking the small end bushings. Of course, then you'll
have to put on new rings, hone the cylinders... Well, maybe you should
just pull the engine!
