Dont know about blue checking, i inspected the ways and knocked off any sharp edges, n cleaned them nicely thats it. Added oil n reassembledThose three ball bearings probably go between the gibs and the lock screws.
As the gibs are at a 60deg angle the screw can tighten down on the ball bearing without serious galling against the gib.
Edit: Meant to ask if you've blue checked the ways and gibs.
Some machines can benefit a lot with a bit of scraping.
