With the amount of metal liberated by that bearing failure, you will want to disassemble and wash EVERYTHING, including the housing. The surface metal that has spalled off of the rollers and race is very hard. After that metal has circulated to any degree, I wouldn't re-use any bearings in that rear. Take a long close look at those gears after they've been cleaned and dried. It's better to spend a little more now rather than have it even worse in 500 miles.
