Two ways...
Press the stem out of the triple, or cut the race off.
Pressing it out is not hard, but many home mechanic with a cheap press and no understanding how to use it have bent a steering stem trying
Cutting the race is not hard, but many home mechanic with angle grinder or dremel tool have gouged the stem after cutting too far. The Trick is to cut most of the way through, then with a chisel and a smart rap with a hammer, the race will fracture and come right off.

When he says dust seal I think he means on the lower triple. This cannot be pressed anywhere as the lower cone is pressed onto the stem. You can use thin screwdrivers/chisels to do a trillion tiny taps to get it off. You MUST get it off perfectly square or it will bind.
If you get fed up, it can be split with a chisel too but that is no small task either. Its not a fun job but persistence overcomes resistence, or something like that.

Pressing the stem out of the triple is the fastest way if you have the means
Otherwise you do it came man with a chisel
