I have a 10" Ryobi sliding compound miter saw. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of this guy, but it has seen better days. I just finished using it on a rather large outdoor project where I had to cut a lot of brick and stone. The sliders are pretty much hosed. Every time I go to use it now I have to oil up the sliders and un-seize them to get it sliding again. Most likely the fine dust from cutting all of the brick/stone has polutted the slider bearings.
Is there a way to remove the sliders from the housing and rebuild/clean the bearings. This is the model:

Not a really expensive model, but I'll have to say it has been bullet-proof for several years and I hate to junk tools if it is cost-effective to fix them. I just don't see any way to get into that housing that holds the rails.
Any ideas?
