Arc Eurotrade (usual disclaimers) offer a pictorial guide to changing the bearings

Wow I don't even have one of these and I read the whole rebuild site that Dunc1 posted! Hah hah
Hey Lawrence- did you upgrade any of the other parts of your machine, like the saddle, or compound? I would be curious to see how one of your machines would feel after upgrading like this.
I think this is also a good illustration of why precision machines cost what they do. I know the original parts can be made a little better in the first place, but all the "hand fitting" takes time and care.
What a great page! I have to look for a similar Atlas 618/Craftsman page!
