Default Steering wheel centering/alighment

OK. Maybe I am missing something and have been for a lot of years. I take my good wheel off every winter and store inside to avoid cracking. This means I get to line the wheel up straight twice a year. I, or somebody put a mark on the hub of the good wheel, so there is at least one reference point. The shaft has got a bunch of marks from the wheel puller, so difficult to deal with there. I usually try to get the wheels lined up straight when I begin, but the ratio is such that there is a lot of margin for error.

What is the right way to do this or, how do you guys line up the wheel? It took me about 10 tries this time, & I think I finally got it. It is totally screwed up if you are going down the Hwy. and it is off. I know that much. I don't remember it taking this many tries before, but the old grey mare ain't what she used to be.
