not familiar with the aircraft type but usually metallurgic analaysis of metal chips can identify which bearings are damaged. sometimes these chips can be fine but dependant on size and origin components might need to be changed.
as for the oil cooler maybe it is possible that this part becomes contaminated with chips and is recommended to be changed also..
i'm sure the maintenance chief will be able to give exact reason.. mechanics usually don't change parts for nothing.
