Let's hear from the LN folks.

Unless something unusual is going on with your engine, your car has a single row bearing since it is a 2003 model. Either your mechanic ordered a double row bearing before he removed the flywheel to inspect the style of the IMS flange or your mechanic's parts supplier shipped the incorrect part.

I believe, but I could be wrong, that LN doesn't accept IMS returns if the packaged item has been opened because of the possibility that the bearing could have been damaged during a failed installation that isn't obvious to the eye. Given the havoc that could occur to another customer's car if the bearing was damaged prior to installation and it subsequently failed, this seems like a reasonable policy to me.
