i messed up my haro
i posted this already on the bmx section but i thought it was be more appropiate here
i have been messing around with this bike which i shouldn't have been. well i decided to take apart the bike for a good cleaning, and when i got to the back wheel, i took it a part and all of a sudden the ball bearings fell out...i tried to put them back in and i thought i did put them in the right way. i took the thing out for a ride today and all the bearings just Effing fell out. and i took apart again and a lot of the parts are now ruined. damn me i;m so stupid...now i need to some help putting it back together again. the bike is a Haro Zippo...not sure about the more detailed model...here is some pics for you.
can anyone give me any pointers on the parts i possibly need to replace...bearings for one or 26 since i lost them all. and the axle looks a little bit damaged...and since i need to put the bearings back in again...any tips..
the pics won't show...i guess you would have to view it in the bmx forum...sorry for the inconvience
thanks guys

https://www.parktool.com/repair_help/index.shtml This will tell you what you need to do. You will need cone wrenches to adjust and lock the bearing cones in place. Grease will hold the balls in place while you insert the axle and bearing cones. Take it to a bike shop so the mechanics can tell you what parts need to be replaced.
