Yes, the above sequence will operate the diaphragm mechanism. However the use of a modified rear cap, as suggested by Lucas, is far simpler and does not risk damaging the rear element if the screwdriver slips. The correct 'tool' for the job is the Canon FD Macro Lenshood. This in fact, just looks like a rear cap with the centre removed, but is used when the FD lenses are reversed for bellows use.
