if your rod end isnt out of round and the crank measures within spec with a micrometer and with plasti gauge then its as easy as replacing the bearing.

That route would involve removing the cylinder head, oil pan, rod and piston that has the spun bearing, if everything were to check out though you could put all new rod and main bearings in with the engine in the car. id replace the oil pump as well and make sure to flush the oil cooler and turbo of debris before reassembly.

If the rod is out of round or the crank is marred up pretty bad then you will have to replace or have the crank turned and the rod resized to factory spec, or replace both the crank and rod.

It all comes down to how much damage was caused, or how much you wanna spend.
