Hi rabutcher try ebay, david silver or RickO for the bearings although iirc the rear wheel has no bearings only the hub has bearings - and you're correct to get the rear wheel off you need a 36mm socket to get the hub nut off you need 46mm (the hub nut is a bitch to get off) to do it make sure you have the rear caliper on you'll need to depress the brake whilst trying to take the nut off.
