So I just drive the dowel against the bearing face as close to the outer edge as I can get and it should pop out the rear of the casing assuming I have the set screw on the back side removed
I'll give it a try tonight.
Thanks.

You will be driving against the shaft. Since the bearings are being replaced, race damage is not a concern.

Life is good. I was able to drive the drive shaft assembly out of the housing without breaking something and even pulled the bearings off the shaft. Constructed and inserted one of the way tubes in a 2" pvc pipe with evapo-rust solution to begin the cleaning process. Have remaining small parts in a bucket full of evapo-rest as well with some of the longer parts sticking only half the way in the solution. Tomorrow I will turn those parts around and should have all rusty parts cleaned by Thursday. I have degreased and taped off the head stock in preparation for the new paint job tomorrow. I have ordered new bearings for the drive shaft and once they arrive I can start putting things back together.
Thanks for the advice here which has been very helpful.

Checkout this video on how to reassemble the quill and install the new bearings. It is from 10ER expert Skip Campbell. It was very useful to me when I restored my 10ER.

Evapo-Rust is great stuff. Places parts in bucket of the stuff overnight and rust just disappeared.

BTW it does evaporate, so open top bucket will cause some loss.
Also it does become depleted after several uses.
The location of de rust has become a very thin layer of black oxide.
Leaving a coat of the evaporust will help prevent rusting for a short period.
"Penetrol" will provide long term rust prevention on none-sliding parts.
Parts looking good!!!!
P.S. Evaporust will not help aluminum parts!
