Help out,i cant find that link in that mess of links,heelp!

On a W123 there is really nothing to it, so I would guess a W124 would be about the same.
You just put the car on ramps, or jack stands. This is very important as it will collapse when an hydraulic line is opened.
All you do is remove hydraulic connections at the accumulators (it won't leak much at all from the lines during this), unbolt accumulator from bottom of car, install new accumulator, attach lines.
Add fluid to correct level in tank, start car, system will self bleed, then fill to correct level.
If doing a full replacement of fluid, there is a bleed nipple on the SLS valve in back, like a brake bleeding screw. Put a hose on it and run it into a 2 liter coke bottle or similar, crack screw, let fluid bleed, close, fill, repeat, etc.....
You may not get every last drop, but you will certainly replace the bulk of the fluid that way.
Did you also get a new filter?

Try this one. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?p=1155925

Just start at the top and read each one that says SLS or rear suspension. I don't believe anyone has posted a DIY with pictures, but there are some good explanations of how the system works and how to repair it.

Does anyone here knows who used a W124 Rear SLS shock into a W123? This W123 SLS shocks is very difficult to find.
