Pressing out a bearing by the inner race for reuse

[sujitroy]

I'd like to reuse the bearing for the quill shaft, ISTR the ROM says to use the quill shaft to press it out. Would this put undue pressure on the bearings / cage between the races?

You would usually press out a bearing by applying pressure on the outer race of the bearing using something like a socket. applying pressure to the inner race can or will destroy the bearing due to side loading pressure.
