Axle Trouble

I changed the seal on my passenger side outer axle this weekend and when I went to put the intermediate axle back in I noticed a bearing that was just trashed. You can see it by looking in through the cad housing. It's in between the diff and the cad right at the cad housing. It's pretty tore up but it looks like a needle bearing. I called the dealer and they weren't sure what i was talking about. Looking for a part number and hopefully a good removal and installation procedure that won't tear up my new axle seal. That was not a fun seal to install. Also, Should I worry about those needles getting into the pig? To make matters worse I snapped one of the bolts off in the cad housing. Any suggestions on getting that out? Please help!!
