For getting to Q24 leads, yes the SMT diode gets in the way, but I have found that most builders have left the leads long enough to bend the board assembly up enough to allow access to the Q24 leads. That may or may not be the case with your construction, but I mention it just in case. Unsoldering one lead to swing it out of the way is not a big deal either. My preference is to unsolder the lead from the RF board (leaving it attached to the small board) - it is easier to re-install the diode that way.
