Take down the curtains. They are likely fastened with velcro at the top. Then look up there there should be two or three screws with a square slot. Take out those screws and the cornice (but I don't think that is what it is called, should come off. The screws can be hard to see and you must be a bit of a contortionist but my old arthritic neck did it. Once you get that off, the shade comes down easily. There are instructions on the front pages of this forum that are easy to follow. You don't need a kit, you just need the right size cord. We bought ours from a sewing shop. That hardest part of the whole deal is taking off the cornice. I have a small battery operated screw driver with a six inch extension. Saves oodles of time and has become my most used tool. Ryobi from Home Depot, about $40
