Unhappy Rear Bearing Busted

So I was replacing a worn Spur Gear on my ZX5 when I noticed my rer wheel moving allot more than usual...

I removed the rear hum and popped the shaft out to find a small ball and what looked initially like grass stuck to it.

On further inspection it became clear that I had a catastrophic failure of the inner bearing of the rear hub carrier:

After some serious effort I managed to get everything out of the rear hub, however... I will need a new rear hub and also... a bearing... might take this opportunity to replace all the bearings... just in case
