Can someone please briefly explain to me how to remove the petcock from my cb500 tank so I dont break anything in the process or ruin my paint?

Remove the round bowl, there is a hex
molded into the bottom so use a wrench.
Once the bowl is off you will see two machine
screws. Remove them and the petcock will
come right off. Remember to keep the
red fiber washers, the petcock will leak like
crazy without them.




Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.
