MCH bone won't symmetrize

posted to: Rigging the Wheels

Hi, this is a weird one.
When I symmetrize the wheel bones from L to R everything works except the MCH-Wheel_Front_Direction.L bone.
I've gone over it several times and made sure to select ALL the bones but it keeps doing the same thing. 
I think I might have the naming wrong but it looks correct to me.
It works fine on the rear wheel.
Any ideas as to why??
Thank you!

    Hi James Smartassmusic ,

    You are probably right, that it's because of the naming; if I see it correctly, you have a dot at the end (after the .L): ...Front_Direction.L.

    Crikey! You've got good eyesight!

    YES!

    Thank you SOOO much. I'm loving frying my brain with this software but it's invaluable having the input of experts when I (inevitably) crash and stop for some reason.

    Hi James, 
    Don't worry this happens to me all the time.  And every time it's because there is a ".L."

    That dot is so hard to see after an L!

    Ha, ha! Thank yes,  it IS difficult to see isn't it.
    Oh well, now I know, I look out for it :-)
