you have 3 bearings. 2 wheel axle bearings left right. then the drive shaft pinion bearing. this is the bearing that broke. now the gears do not engage properly. this will need to be repaired by shimming this to engage correctly when the new pinion bearing is installed.

this is beyond my level of knowledge. never did it !
