I've never been so intimate with a W124! But I've crabbled about with my W201 and the design is similar - but even so I also can not remember for sure if the upper side of those nuts are accessible. They are most certainly not accessible on my W123 - perhaps "the trend" did continue...

...I have to fit a new rear ABS sensor on my car soon so the back seat will be out - perhaps I'll have a better insight into this construction then.
