FAQs
Does this set work on all rim locks?
It is designed to work on most standard rim locks within the 18.3 mm to 25.5 mm range, but it may not work on highly specialized or unusually shaped proprietary designs.
Will this damage my rims?
The tool is specifically engineered to remove locks without damaging the rim, provided it is used correctly and the proper size is chosen.
What materials are used for the tools?
The sockets and mandrels are constructed from high-quality S45C and SCM440 steel for durability.
Are the sockets impact-rated?
These are designed for manual or controlled dismantling; extreme impact force could damage the tool or the lock.
How many pieces are included?
The set contains 10 pieces: 8 conical dismantling sockets and 2 dismantling mandrels.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on the rim lock
Ensure the socket is seated fully and check if a smaller diameter size provides a tighter, more secure grip.
Difficulty removing the tool from the lock after use
Gently tap the side of the socket to break the friction seal or use a soft-faced mallet to vibrate the tool loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your BGS 8656 tool set, always select the smallest socket that will fit over the lock to ensure a tight, secure grip. The set is compatible with most standard aftermarket and OEM rim locks that fall within the 18.3 mm to 25.5 mm diameter range.
Maintenance is simple: clean the sockets after each use to remove metal shavings or debris that may have collected during the removal process. Store the tools in a dry environment and keep them lightly oiled to prevent oxidation, as the high-strength steel can be susceptible to rust if exposed to moisture over long periods.
