That leaves me with one more issue - how to press the new bearings in without damaging the quite fragile powder coating on the outside of the cap?????
I think removing the seal is the best (poss. only) way to do it? They come off easily enough though so not a problem - there are a few instances where Ducati use a single seal.

As far as fitting the bearings, I suggest you warm up the cap and freeze the bearing and it'll likely just drop in...
