Electrical heatgun work fine to make it loosen up. 754 screw procedure must work.

 have some leftover semi-rigid vinyl floor tiles that I've cut into small sections.  I use these as interfaces for the bench vice, or sometimes for "facing" a set of big vice grips or channel locks, and they work great on the lip of a fork leg lower.  Absolutely zero scratches….

If you don't mind pulling it right apart do it this way.

An improvement over the flat head screwdriver is to use the hooked end of a tire lever. Grabs the ridge in the middle perfectly so you don't scratch the seat, won't break at the handle and cut you, superior leverage.

Also I've found that an improvement over the use of a similar diameter socket for driving new seals can be to simply use the old seal itself, placed on top of the new seal and driven with a rubber mallet.
