how in the hell do you even get in there? I can’t even get myself in a position where I can SEE the valve, let alone reach in with a tool to remove it ..do I lie on my back across the seats with my feet out the passenger side, head in the footwell? Seems like torture, at least at my age. But then again, virtually everything that used to be easy is torture nowadays,

On a W123 my guess is you need to pull the instrument cluster out. The instrument cluster is just pushed in but it can also be held in by the speedometer cable which you can pull on to give it slacker and I am not sure on the wiring.

The color coded hoses need to go into the proper position, or it won't work as it should.

You might find the writeups you need below.

When I did mine, I had to swap out the whole steering collum lock as that had pars inside busted up. So that valve came with the new steering collum lock.

Removing the steering collum lock is another way to get at that valve but remember the seat belt buzzer switch is also attached to that.
