For the record, that bushing was smoked. Replace it if it looks like that next time.
When I've replaced seals on other bikes I haven't needed to take of the difficult top cap - I've just released the bottom screw and separated the two halves.

Interesting, this was my first time so I did it by the book, we’re you able to get the correct amount of oil added that way?

@@hackjobrepairs8938 Yes, just poured it in through the bottom before replacing the Allan screw.
You can skip the trick with the tape if you use the right size piece of PVC pipe and fitting as I do. Only takes some light tapping to seat these seals.

I tried but was not able to find the right size pipe… but with the tape it’s a lot easier to customize your size. 😀
