But mostly I'm concerned about the bearing cluster staying intact with the assembly & didnt want to mess with that if I didnt have to.
If by bearing cluster you are referring to the 2 #6s on either side of #7. I don't think yoneed to worry they should be thrust races with a caged ball thrust in between them and once The capscrews have been removed from #7 you should be able to slip the handwheel back on and just wind the whole assembly out of the cross slide nut.
Unless I'm missing something.
You're not missing anything Steve. Or we both are.
