Those instructions will work.
Realistically you don't need to remove the cart or base valve to drain the oil. BUT given that most of the crud settles at the bottom of the fork you may find thats where all the sludge is. Sometimes a few flushes with a light fluid will work to wash it out, however full disassembly is the easiest way to clean things.
Be warned though, the alloy is SOFT! and if you try to torque on it on its own the whole cart will spin in the fork lower. You either need a cart holding tool (or another way to hold the cart) ((or a rattle gun; be careful!))
Basically the cart has an inner thread, the base valve has an external, and the fork foot has a lip so that when its all installed it stays put in the lower fork.
