It covers unboxing the eBay-sourced cylinder and hoses (~$360 total), machining bushings to fit an undersized pin hole, removing the stock adjustment link, installing hoses with crush washers, and a quick test run. Best for owners tackling this exact upgrade themselves.

Remove the stock adjustment link pins, fit the new cylinder with machined bushings on the pin, install the hydraulic hoses with crush washers, then test run it.
No. The banjo fittings use crush washers on either side to seal, and the parts seller confirmed tape is not needed.
The owner bought the cylinder and two hydraulic hoses off eBay for a total of 360 dollars.
The bushing that fit the pin was about one-sixteenth of an inch too big for the hole, so it had to be drilled out to fit.
