A project that I have been putting off for a long time is replacing the arbor bearings in my table saw (Ridgid r4511). I didn't realize how bad of shape they were in. The bearings were so warn that they were adding a lot of resistance to the motor which made cutting through thicker stock more difficult. The replacement took me 3.5 hours to complete which includes time to recalibrate and tune up the saw.
The bearings size are 6004. The stock bearings use a metal dust shield (6004 zz) but you can opt for rubber seals to help keep more dust out (6004 2rs). Bearing can be purchased from many industrial suppliers or amazon. I recommend not buying the cheapest bearings available though.
