The fact is I didn't order anything, my mechanic did. But anyway I have my own business and I do not business that way.
I am a little bit disappointed, basically an exchange is not a thing complicated to do. Or do you think my mechanics try to play me ?

Unless you gave him the exact part number to order, your mechanic is at fault and he should get this resolved, one way or another. The fact that he would try to push that off on you says a lot about his character (or lack of), in my opinion. I would probably go with a different mechanic.

Wait wait wait....is your mechanic asking you to pay up for another one? I would be going seriously nuts right now on my mechanic. His fault if he ordered. Shame if they wont exchange it out...if that is in fact the case.
If it were me, Id be pulling my car off to another shop if they are asking you to pay double...

@Taipanic : Don't misunderstand me, he didn't try to.

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.

I agree with Thom, I dont want to be buying a "Used" bearing from LN due to a mechanic botching up the install and returning it.
I'd say its the mechanics mistake, although if it could be inspected by LN to see if it is still suitable for an install perhaps the Mechanic could sell it as is to recoup some of his loss.
I was also expecting a lighter thread so I'll toss in some humorous trivia.

+1 this is solely your mechanics problem, you have to take what they say at face value also. It's not like people try to shirk responsibility.

Yeah right, politicians are the same way. IMSB retrofit is not the time to discover you have been deceived! :ah:
