None of the ones that come in a red case will fit the w123.

So I'd much prefer to buy one that's right upfront.

Perhaps the Klann if I can find a good used one.
I have the Klann tool in the rental Forum...

send me a PM, and I'll arrange a rental.

Site sponsors have some offerings here

1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D Base Sedan - Suspension Tools - Page 1

Perhaps they will confirm if any of these options will fit with out modifications?

With two cars and an incredibly slow work process (may take me a year based upon available time), not sure a rental is my best bet. I'll consider it though. Thanks!!

You could always rent it, take out the springs and set them aside return it, then rent again when ready to go back in. I'll work up a deal for ya!
