I ran an authorized Rainbow service center for 23 years. You absolutely CAN drill out the rivets, replace the bearing, and use pop rivets to secure the bearing cover. Both bearings (top and bottom) can be sourced from various bearing supply houses - the bearing number is printed on the bearing race cover. Breuer Bearings in St. Louis supplies the ones we use - they're fairly expensive at twenty dollars for the lower bearing - but that's a small price to pay for the perfect machine.
