yo i just messed up my bmx bike

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..

thanks guys

You didn't need to take the axle out.

Never take an axel out of an unsealed hub unless you know how to put it back together
