I believe the purpose of it is to give a better/even surface area for someone with a rubber mallet to push the axle shaft back into place with respect to the rear differential.

I was thinking that a much larger version of this part from a typical hardware store may work... http://www.lowes.com/pd/AMERICAN-VAL...Hanger/3223521
Test fitted the Bavauto CV axle pry bar. It's a good fit. It'll probably work although not as well as the $800 BMW prybar. The BMW pry bar will spare that black plastic shield while the Bavauto CV axle pry bar may not.





Test fitted the HP Autosport differential tool.





I still have not found a good alternative for special tool 33 5 125 which is used to tap the CV axle into the rear differential.
