Dear John,
Good p.m. and may this find you well. I had wondered if this approach could be taken. You've answered that question.
I will shortly do this job on a 93 940 NA. I'd rather not loosen the intake manifold. So, I will use two "saw horses" of the proper height, and a sheet of plywood (5/8"/16mm thick) as a work platform.
It using "saw horses" and a small sheet of plywood - cheap items - saves time / muscle strain / hand damage, it might be useful for the FAQs to have a detailed procedure.
While a professional mechanic might not want to use - or might be barred by government/company safety regs from using - such a work platform, this approach might help many others.
If you'll let me have an e-mail address, I'd like you to review my write-up, so that it is as accurate as possible.
Yours faithfully,
spook
