Using the venom from it's fangs.

. . .

The basilisk's venom is one of the substances used to destroy a Horcrux, which is why Ron and Hermione go down into the Chamber of Secrets in Deathly Hallows, so that they can find a fang from the basilisk's skeleton and use to to destroy Hufflepuff's chalice, the Horcrux.

What destroys a horcrux?

Horcruxes are extremely difficult to destroy. They cannot be destroyed by conventional means such as smashing, breaking, or burning. In order to be destroyed, a Horcrux must suffer damage so severe that repair through magical means would be impossible. (Known specific means for accomplishing this are enumerated and detailed below.) Once a Horcrux is irreparably damaged, the fragment of soul within it is destroyed. A Horcrux can be magically undone only if the creator goes through a process of deep remorse for the murder committed to create the Horcrux. The pain of this remorse is so excruciating that the process itself may kill the creator.

Why did Harry's ho-crux was not destroyed in second part when basilisk's fang was inserted in his arm?

it was not destroyed because in order for the horcrux to be destroyed, harry would have to die.

So the phoenix's tears healed Harry, so he did not die, so the Horcrux was not destroyed.
