Disobliging Mates

Hi Folks
It is probably just the lateness of the hour plus my lack of expertise, but I just cannot get the two halves of my crank shaft to revolve together.
The left half was assembled first with a Revolute Mate in the bearing and tested. That worked fine. I then assembled the second half with a Revolute Mate in the second bearing. I tested that and it revolved nicely, then I noticed the first half was not revolving. Ah, I thought. We probably don't need two Revolute Mates so I will delete No 2 and that should fix it. Unfortunately not. The left half still rotates and the right half remains parked.
Your advice would be most welcome.
The rpoblem drawing is top be found here:
Many thanks
Pete
