Installing a hydraulic top link on the Kioti CK4010SE.

This is a hands-on, first-time DIY install of an aftermarket hydraulic top link on a CK4010SE, not a dealer demo. It covers unboxing a ~$260 kit ordered on Amazon, fitting banjo bolts and locking block, grinding down a bracket to clear the gas tank, hooking up to rear remotes (explaining spring-center vs detent), fixing a hydraulic leak, and testing cylinder travel. Good for owners planning the same swap and wanting real fit-up snags.
