No camera...Sorry, the hose job isnt actuallt that bad its putting the rats nest back in that I had trouble with, I used a 2in stubby screw driver for the 2screws that hold it in but everything is in the way, the wire harness runs right in front of the one screw on the front of the nest and the back you have about 2.5in to work to get that one out, but getting everything lined up for the rats nest was a major pain...
The hose job would be a good idea tho, I only have about 2500miles on my pettit rebuild so all the hoses were pretty much new alerady but I put a lighter under one of those and the same to the new hose I bought from hose techniques and it was insane, the stock hose would start on fire after a few seconds, the new hose didnt at all it would just get glowing hot then cool down and it was still ok to use...the craziest thing I ever saw...

fart on a friends head!!!
you shouldve replaced those screws with some hex headed bolts (the ones you use an allen wrench for).
here ya go, goracer: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ight=rats+nest
i kinda flashed through a step by step as you should be able to see what is needed to be removed when taking off the major components. the write-up is at the bottom. if you have any questions just pm me. i can help you in detail. i dont have any pics, but i can help with some whatnot that you might run into.
