Honda - Petcock Assembly - 16950-HN2-003

Had to replace the petcock in my 2003 Honda trx500. I ordered my parts from Adept Powersports because they seem to have the best prices and customer service. Replacing the petcock is real easy to do but what is not easy is removing the fuel tank so you can get to the petcock. It has a plastic fuel tank and the one thing I could say to anyone that is planning on doing this is to remove the petcock screws on the bottom of the fuel tank using an impact driver because it makes it much easier and it helps to remove the screws without damaging the fuel tank fasteners that are molded and to the bottom of the fuel tank. Once those nuts began to spin loose then there is no way to tighten the petcock and the whole fuel tank has to be replaced.
