Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to document this. Really needed to hear that someone actually had accomplished this and how. I have the '95 "DOHC 24" Diamante LS and it really seems impossible to do without removing something. Will take your instructions and re-analyze the possibilities.

Again ,Thanks
