    Looks like a lack of maintenance on the bearing caused them to fail - (no grease). I hope the threads on the spindle are ok.

    If the threads are OK - some new bearings, bearing races and a brake kit should get you back on the road. Do not forget to do both sides of the car.

    Yes, you are looking at what is left of the seal and bearing pieces. And the thing on the spindle that spins is probably part of the old bearing too. The rest of the bearing fell out on the road when it all failed and came apart.
