u-joint disaster

So i was trying to replace front axle u-joints and got the drivers side done fine but passengers side u-joint wouldn't break loose from the inner axle shaft, even after soaking overnigh in penetrating oil. I finally got the snap rings off and took it to my buddy for help and he applied heat to it and tried to press them out and bent an ear on the axle shaft slightly. nice move huh, now my simple DIY project just got a lot more $$$$!

So now my truck is up on blocks stiking half way out of the garage with no axle. Anynody know where the best place is to get an AAM front passengers side inner axle shaft fast and cheap?

Thanks much, ryan

Fast is at a good dealer.
Cheap is a wish.

Call Mopar4less 800-748-2139. Be sure to ask for internet parts. (they are a dealer in NM) I just bought a steering gear box and a new radiator from them. I saved over 30% of the local dealers price and shipping was less than TX sales tax.
