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?

Do you still have the manual? They often have an exploded view of the inner workings.

https://www.manualslib.com/ is where I go to find everything, including some ancient stiff I inherited from the 1960's. Maybe you can get the bearing size it at least how to tear it down then grab a caliper and measure the bearings and hit up Amazon.

Excuse the spelling, autocorrect is like a 5 year old kid translating stuff their Spanish grandma says...
