the clock springs has a mark on it and a set of dierctions stamped in the plastic on how to recenter it, everytime i remove them from my parts cars, i recenter them and zip tie them for shipping, that way the new owner of it can install it with no chances taken, but all you do to recenter one if you know it has been turned, it turn it all the way to one side till you feel the slightest bit of tension, be careful dont be king kong when doing this, then you count back the opposite direction 2 3/4 turns and your marks will like up, there is a little plastic arrow on the big ring, and on the center ring your connector with the yellow sleeve will line up with the arrow. its really easy.
