You can pull the lever forwards to access the screw at the back if you need more space.
How do I know if need the adaptor bush?
Until you remove the cartridge from the tap you will not know if you need this part.

Can I remove the adaptor bush from the old cartridge?
Yes you can but it can be very hard to remove due to corrosion.
You can try using very hot water, followed by cold water over it, to help break the corrosion seal.
