AHHH bb71 you suffer from the same genetic malady as I....the 50/50 syndrome that goes something like this. Given a true 50/50 chance of making a right or wrong decision you will make the wrong choice every time. Example, you come to a T in the road, it's cloudy & you have no idea which direction you are going you will make the wrong turn every time. I discussed this with my son who is gifted in math, he tried to explain that when your in that situation that you will be wrong 100% of the time because you do not know where your going & 50+50=100 or something like that.
My best example of this was when I put my front end back together I was quite certain of the L&R spindles which I promptly installed, torqued to spec & proceeded to install the caliper adapters & then the calipers...something was not right, the calipers would not go on correctly, so I surmised that I had incorrectly chosen the L/R spindles so I set about removing & reinstalling the spindles on the opposite sides torque to spec but still the calipers would not go on Soooooo I go to the book to confirm that the calipers were to be on the front, like I thought originally, rather than the rear that this configuration created.... DAHM I had the spindles correct to begin with...it was the caliper adapters that were on the wrong spindle or explained mathematically 50/50-50/50= 0% chance of getting it right.
If any of you need further clarification of the 50/50 syndrome email my Son the psyc major at
