Sixto,

Yes, it is two heavy-duty-looking pieces, and a special 24mm socket. The instructions are to put the compressors in place, jack up the axle to compress the spring, tighten the tensioners, and then lower the axle, and remove the spring.

They even give a part number for the compressors, 111 589 04 31.
