Reinz has the same sealant as does Loctite, just purchase whatever you can find for the best price.

The tool to lock the flexplate is pretty inexpensive for the M10x and OM60x.

Cannot comment on the radiator removal for the W124, I had mine out on the 300SEL when I did the top end this past winter. I just replaced my front main, super easy and now no oil leaks! I was not in the mood to pull the front cover. Check the stretch of the chain while in there, no easier time to drop in a new chain.
