Yes, it is possible to find the Thevenin equivalent by working stepwise though a circuit.

Note that the problem statement says to view the diode as the load, so for the purposes of finding the Thevenin equivalent you need to imagine that the diode is removed and the Thevenin equivalent is as viewed looking into the open terminals where the diode was.
 
First find Rth. Start by removing the load, in this case the diode, as gneil said, then turn off the voltage source by replacing it With a Short circuit
