First impressions were not great as the instructions were crumpled, 
but everything else was packed nicely. 
It didn't really matter since I had already read the instructions online.To begin installation I stripped down the saw,
and unbolted the bolt that connects the top half to the bottom half of the saw.
Then I dropped in the riser block, after drilling out the paint that was in the bottom holes of the riser block with a 1/4" bit. After this slight modification the block fit very well.
Then I placed the top half back on and slipped in the long bolt supplied with the kit. 
Then I reassembled the saw which included putting in the new blade guard on the left side of the saw. This is well made and fit nicely. The one thing that I knew wouldn't work was the replacement guide post, as the one supplied with the kit was round but the one I needed was a hex shaped post.
Other than that the kit worked very well. 
After this I ordered a blade from Highland Woodworking that is specially designed to cut green wood. Why green wood? Stay tuned.Video on how to install a riser block:
