Thanks for pointing that out. I still am unclear as far why the need for the mark mention in the illustration given the other directions . Even if you disregard the written copy as long as it is stowed the same way as illustrated you should be fine . FYI most typically the lug wrench head ,and at least a portion of the shaft along with the two steel zinc plated washers were unpainted and the nylon washer sandwiched between was unpainted also .
