are all Heavy duty shock springs the same size?

and are the shock springs suppose to slide over the fork extenders?

Shock springs are for the rear shock and HD fork springs are for the forks. No. They are pinned to the top of the extender. I have the Two Bros. springs and Red Baron Fork Kit. Works great, but kind of stiff.

hammer and a upsidedown drillbit or a punch, its gotta be close to the exact same size of the pin

I used rubber jaw covers on my bench vise and clamped the black plastic donut in. (BUT DO NOT CLAMP IT TIGHT) just enough to keep it from spinning. Then use a small pin punch to tap it out. Then you can take it all apart. Clamp the springs in a vise and unscrew the ends off. Install those on your new springs and reverse of disassembly.
