For bearings do you mean motor bearings? Also, the brushroll can normally be found if you call a vac shop and ask if they can pick one out of their boneyard. Thats where I got mine from. Normally the brush strips arent in bad shape. As for the cord reel, there is a mini brake pad on the inside of the reel case. Normally over time the glue on the pad decays and it comes off. I have replaced this before with a piece of dense felt. If you remove the outer bag (by disconnecting the plastic plate that holds it on) you should be able to gain access to the brake assembly on the other end of the cord button that you depress to let it back in. Let me know if you need pics ive got a couple concepts.

Bearings

Honestly I have never ran into one where I needed to replace the bearings. I know they have been discontinued, atleast my supplier can no longer get them. I am guessing that you may need a bearing puller device to remove them from the armature. I was looking at schematics and I think the fan end bearing may be housed in a bearing plate. In which case its riveted in and you may have to replace the entire plate which are (of course) discontinued. Honestly, I would just find a used motor and replace the whole thing. Are the bearing seized on yours or just noisy?

really noisy. I can't even get the vacuum apart. I've got the outer bag off but that is it

Would a copy of some schematics help?

I don't think so. If someone could post a video then I would be really thankful
