Default KR Wilson tools

I've had these tools for years and never used them. Before I put them on the Swap Meet, could someone tell me what the tool on the right is used for? The left one says "flywheel bearing puller." The right one only gives this info: V176.

Thanks. terry

Can you list their part numbers? Should be casting into the tool's body somewhere.

THE v176 IS FOR REMOVING TIE ROD ENDS. THERE ARE NICE AS THEY DON'T DESTROY A TIE ROD END LIKE A "PICKLE FORK" TYPICALLY DOES.
MOSTLY A KRW COLLECTOR ITEM THESE DAYS AS MODERN TIE ROD END REMOVAL TOOLS ARE READILY AVAILABLE, CHEAP AND SMALLER THAN THE OLD KRW VARIATION.

The one on the left is a a375a, well, half of the set anyway. This half of the set removes the flywheel bearing. Another tool that is more valuable to a krw collector than a mechanice. Those bearings ae fairly easy to remove without a specilized tool.
