That's be my take on it, KE4, from what I read in that tool instruction sheet and the OEM image of the tool being used, appears the point is to keep the smaller shaft lined up perfectly straight with its mating piece, which I imagine is also running parallel to the axle shaft.. so not just parallel but also lined up straight all the way around with the shaft it mates with, while torquing down the housing bolts of the 2 mating pieces.. (since torquing the bolts could cause things to shift slightly.. much like alignment pins would do on some ATV heads or cases, etc, except my guess is there's not really any room in the LTH unit to actually have alignment pins...?)
