I had a guy called the Corvair Doctor rebuild one of my bearings several years ago. All he did was take it apart, clean and lubricate it, and charged me $65. I have done it myself since then. Unless something is broken, you just knock the rivets out, clean all the parts, pack it with grease (I use a needle on my grease gun to get the grease in between the rollers) and re-rivet it back together. You don't even have to press the bearing off the axle shaft. I have been doing this about once a year on my daily-driver 62 LeMans.
