I don’t think so. The bearing is what centers the shaft. Once you get the new one on and the shaft back in place, I think you will be fine.

For what it's worth. As a retired machinist a lot of the high speed slab mills that we used on horizontal boring mills were left hand helix right hand cut. That is somewhat like the pinion gear looks like as compared to a slab mill. The left hand helix with the right hand cut forced the spindle and or quill back into the head stock on a horizontal boring mill. This was a favored cutter design to eliminate chatter and help size control when having extended reach cuts. I think that this how the statement "But tap on the end of the shaft driving it into the housing" was developed using the left hand helix / right hand cut synopsis. Of course this would only work if the assembly is not damaged as shown. Again for what it's worth.
