Let me say- here's how most do it. They support the a-arm close to the ball joint with a jack stand. I use a spring compressor to make sure if something goes- I'm not dead.
Then, use a large hammer on a ??2" piece of pipe. Go down to home depot and pick out a piece and a cap. Beat it out! Use the Autozone tool to install the new one. Not sure if a W124 requires the same tricks as a W123 to get it to work- but ppl here should chime in with experience.

Taking out the control arm requires a mercedes specific spring compressor .
