have  disassembled my rear bearings while still somewhat on my 61 Rampy, my 
question  is how do I get into the outside bearing to clean it and somewhat 
insure that  I have gotten all the old nasty stuff out?  Or is this one of those 
times  you just do the best you can do, relube and continue?  Also is it  
necessary that I re-rivet the bearing together or can the four studs be  
considered acceptable?

    With this method you just clean the best you can  and that can be pretty 
clean. Then get a needle grease gun tip and make sure you  get the grease 
between the rollers and some on the outer races.
    The only reason the rivets were ever installed was  for shipping and 
handling purposes. The studs will hold everything together just  fine.
