Follow the fricking book an do what it says!
Here is an example of why you should do things by the book...
A platoon of US soldiers were taught to remove bayonets from their M1 rifles by holding the rifle stock and assembly between their legs and using their hands to pull the bayonet off the bayonet stud. They all thought it was stupid doing it this way...why not just hold the barrel with their left hand and pull the bayonet off with their right hand?
So, the platoon went out in the field, fixed bayonets, and charged a nazi held farmhouse in the west of France. Shooting, throwing grenades, and stabbing the odd Nazi with their bayonets...they did well and captured the farmhouse with minimum loses.
Their sargent , who had trained them well, yelled: REMOVE BAYONETS. The men who thought they knew better than the Sargent, all grabbed their rifle barrel with their LEFT hand and pulled the bayonet off the rifle with their right hand.
And all of them reported to sick call with a BURNED LEFT HAND. Why? The barrels were very hot from shooting bullets through them.
The young kids thought they knew better than both the army manual and their sargent.
And you MISTER MECHANIC...if you had known you were going to be fooling around with the filter twice, might have organized the schedule better to save one o ring...but since you didn't...YOU BETTER FOLLOW THE BOOK>
I remember ALASKA AIRLINES thinking they knew better than Douglas how to lube the stab trim jack screw!!! BAMMMMMMM
