This might be useful. All the links I've seen so far say 30mm 12 side socket.

Do you know if that will work in a W124 or are you asking?

I am not familiar with 202-124 parts compatibility.. it very well might..

Will this work for the Hub socket ?

Once again Thanks James Dean Exatcly what i was looking for i just wasnt sure what parts would cross refrence and what would fit on what or what was diffrent This is exatcly what i had in mind DIY W124 Rear Wheel Carrier Removal (Rear Wheel Bearing Change)
and you linked that and that had Excatly the link i was needing !! Perfect !! Thanks Guys this should get me on track here im still hoping that this new " used " knuckle hub will work at least till i get all my ducks lined up so that way im not Rushed to get it done and i can do it Properly

Wagons use a larger caliper mount spacing... You have to have a wagon hub.

As for the castle nut, any 12 point 30mm socket will work. Be sure to unpeen the ridge of the nut first.

I was told this - " This Will Fit The Arms will not work but the Actual Knuckle will fit right up. But the linkages -Control Arms- are the same at the hub but running to the Frame they are configured diffrent. There are 5 Control Arms and 4 of the Control Arms are Diffrent "

Dangnit Yep This will fit up but the hub is Diffrent in size So im back to just fixing it . Is it possible that my hub is Damaged if so is there anywhere to buy another one Since it is a Wagon ? VsTech You are a God Send !! you saved me alot of time by Bringing this up about the hub size i was able to get intouch with the seller of that used hub and they said you were Absouletly right !! Thanks a ton man save me from having to do Return shipping

I have a spare wagon... I could rebuild my set and ship to you and you pay me and ship your when you install them on your wagon...

Ok... someone refresh my memory...
At the first of this thread a ' Castle' nut... not really the proper word... but I can't spell the real one... I have one of those...and used it on my wagon rear axle... about fifteen years ago...
But then pictures of a regular socket are shown and talked about like that is just fine for the job...
Where did I use the special socket ...?

Seems like it was used on something like a lock washer...a large one... from the inside... ?

there is no special socket on the 201/124 rear assembly. unless you count the tripple square bolts on the eccentric bolt...
