Opened the 14-Bolt, Found Some Bearing Parts...

I've had the truck for about three weeks and haven't driven it much because I wanted to finish changing the fluids. I opened both diffs tonight. The Dana 60 front looked good but the 14 bolt had some bearing parts in it. I'm pretty sure that the parts are from the pinion support bearing (third bearing on the tip of the pinion). I've got a picture of it below. What do you guys think? What is the procedure for fixing this? This is my first time being inside a 14bolt. It looks like the pinion can be pulled out from the drive shaft side by removing six bolts. Is it as easy as pulling the pinion and throwing in a new bearing? I really don't want to get into setting tolerances and what not...
