What is this tool? Going through an old guys shop

[Bettaguy]

I'm going through a shop looking to find homes for a gentleman's shop tools who passed. A lot of stuff I've not seen before. Thought I'd post some pictures here to see if someone out there is familiar with what I have. I believe his stuff is old. He restored Ford Model A's. Here is a photo

Looks like an internal bearing puller to me but I don't do this professionally.

This, or pilot bearing puller for flywheels is a common application.

I think you are both exactly right. And this is not necessarily an old tool. I bought one from Snap On last year and it looks almost identical. Doesn't mean it isn't an old tool either though.

Thank you folks for taking the time to post replies. Helps a lot.

Pilot bearing puller was usually used with a slide hammer puller to pull bearings. The center shaft would not go through the jaws to bottom on the crank shaft.

Based on the extra nut and washer in the box, I'm guessing there's a frame (for lack of a better word) missing, like this OTC one: https://www.otctools.com/products/pilot-bearing-puller-3

The old guy wasn't a Gynecologist, was he?

Yes, it's a pilot bearing puller with a piece absent, as noted in post #8.

Re-reading my thread. This is hilarious! Thanks for the reply. Put a smile on my face.
