Where to buy?

Hello,
The other day I was about to go riding and as I drove down my driveway, my rear end locked up. I took the bike up the block and my dad and I, took apart the rear axel, removing the broken bearings and seals. I the process of taking off the adjusting nut next to the roder hub, the threads under it were completly torn off and loged in the alumium nut. some of the threads for the nut to screw on to were broken off inside of the roder hub too. Anyway I took the axel to a dealer near me and told them all the parts I would need:
-wear ring:$16
-oil seal:$10
-cone bearing:16
-adjusting nut:$125
-roder hub:$116
The final price wound up being 307 dollars i looked on rocky mountain and they had only bearings nothing else to fit the ds...Does anyone else know of any sites i can get those parts off of that are fairly cheep and quick shipping. thanks
P.S.-Also next to the chain sproket the bearing race was scolded on to the axel... it basicly welded it self onto the axel from the heat. If i just heat it up with a saleen torch will that make it come loose and come off? thanks
