The kit is just bushings and seals, usually the bushings are reused. Remove the forks, remove the cap / bolt, remove the spring, drain the fluid. Pry the dust seal down, remove the snap ring, then jar the seal out by expanding the forks. Replace the oil seal, dust seal and if necessary the bushings. It helps to have a seal driver to install but other methods can be used. Two key points, loosen the cap bolts before removing from the bike as the fork tubes are impossible to hold still while loosening the cap.
Also capture the oil and use it as a guide as to how much replacement oil you use.
I've rebuilt lots of forks of all styles, you probably just need a reseal. Good luck!
