Can you describe how the axle is missing?

Understand that the axle is the part that goes inside the hub which balances the wheel in the frame and allows the hub to turn.

If you need an axle, that means the entire hub should be taken apart.

What you might possibly mean (and truly need) is called a skewer.

This is the part that fixes through the axle on quick release hubs and locks the wheel down inside the frame. You should be able to get any basic rear skewer to do this job. Check your local bike shops before ordering online and you might be able to save a few dollars.

The only thing there is the hub the axle skewer spacers and bearings are missing

You'll need an entire hub replacement.

This is really technical.

You can try looking up "quick release axle set" and use that, but cone spacing is typically proprietary to each hub. If it doesn't work, you're most likely SOL and need to get a new rear wheel, or a new rear hub, and rebuild the wheel.

The bearings you will likely need are 1/4". You will need 9 for each side.
