I pulled the rear differential cover to pull the axles so the chewed up backing plates can be replaced.The axles are worn and pitted when the bearing rides on it. I s there a repair bearing available that is all in one so to speak so the worn axle doesn't matter?

Yes, most parts stores can get them. Pretty common.
