i dont have a camera.... but its quite easy just add airpressure to fillervalve at top of leg after removing dustseal and locking spring....in a minute or two the seal slides up slowly by the pressure of oil seeping thru the fork tube bushing...but you need between 8-10kgm of pressure..after the seal is free- bleed out the pressure so you dont spill all the oil...
