The kits are not needed. New bushings and new pins are all you need. The part that wears is the bushing and pins and if it wears through then you need an oversized bushing and drill out the holes in the hinges.
Putting grease in an "oilite" bushing is like not having any lube at all. The grease clogs the pores in the bushing and the oil no longer lubricates.

Just get a repair kit from any of the auto parts dealers that carry them an install.
