I have experience doing this so i can proceed based on that, but on many occasions there were issues such as the crimp not being able to go back in place and rendering the top cap lose.

So does that ring pop off when driving the shaft out? Or is there even a ring in there. You've seen the innards, & I must know 
. I don't want to get it apart any more than that. She's thoroughly cleaned & everything well oiled on the inside with mineral oil. Been marinating like that since yesterday.
thanks Alex.

I would not take it apart, these parts are very old and have been exposed to elements way past their mechanical limitations. The parts are hard to find and replace, also hard to put back in. I don't see any reason why you would want to remove it unless you are curious or have other intentions. The innards should be easy to clean without dismantling the upper shaft and cap section.So does that ring pop off when driving the shaft out? Or is there even a ring in there.

Those parts are crimped and may get damaged if you play with them too much. The Toggle has very fragile inner parts that are irreplaceable, and I would not suggest any more tips or procedures that may render your Toggle useless. The Toggle is Gillette's highest priced vintage razor with an average price of $320 dollars without case and user-grade.
here is my YouTube on the crimped parts

^^Good for you, can't beat that!
Scrubbing bubbles, and a microfiber rag. Red dot is just likely faded or flaked off.
Scrubbing bubbles.........WITHOUT bleach.

Scrubbing bubbles will clean it up fine.
