Clutch basket change and a question.

Me too was one of you who had the annoying chirping and squealing on my 2015 ec 300 and I decided to open my clutch to see the condition of my disks and maybe if I could do some drilling to the current basket to give some more oil.I discovered that I had the last two metal disks all purple and my fiber disks a little worn.After searching the net I came across this basket http://www.enduropuro.it/shop/en/clutch-gasgas/501-racing-clutch-basket-.html which I ordered after coming to conclusion from what I've read here and seen on my own that will be the end of this annoying thing (and it was!!!!!!!)

My question is about the inner clutch basket and what I read in the only workshop manual I have come across that of an 2005 model, which says and I quote Note:
The clutch hub has an assembly position with
respect to the primary shaft. Mark the position
using a permanent marker on the grease ring.
. Why is this to be done because the manual doesn't says why and is this the same on my 2015 motor.

Last two photos with the new clutch basket.

I never could figure out why there would be a need to mark the hub position.

I recently replaced my clutch hub with a Rekluse hub. No noise at all.
 
Thank you very much. My thought exactly. From what mechanical experience I have I can't give a reasonal answer to that.
