When pressing the caps into place you need to make sure the silver part of the inner bushing is not pushed through the outer black part. The idea must be to not rip the silver bit out of the black bit!

With various supporting bits - say sockets - and your hydraulic press you should be good with a bit of KY jelly too.
This is exactly what I was looking for...

The only instruction I could find was about the fishing line method, implying that pressing the caps in place was bad.

I still need clarification about how to orient the center part, flat vs wide part aligned with the arm...
