My procedure is to take the original file if it is not DRMed, rename it to something humanly understandable, suck it into Calibre, run the ModifyEpub plugin to remove Kobo's added items, open it in Sigil, though Calibre's internal editor would also work and finish the cleanup. For the most part, if you don't use the editor step, the ebook will render pretty much as it originally did but I prefer to have it meet my personal standard for layout and style.
A Kobo DRMed ebook is another kettle of fish since any modification requires removing the DRM which is not a topic for discussion in these forums.
