Yes, be sure to use a proper spring compressor like a Branick .
It would also help if you have the MB tool for the slotted nut on the spring retainer :

I've done spring installs before, but not on my C230 yet.

You'll need:
- Spring compressor
- Breaker Bar
- impact sockets
- Generic tools (ie- wrench set, metric sockets, etc...)
- a buddy
- and cheap beer
