You could probably use e-z-out from an autoparts store to get the bolt out. Then you will have to find a bolt the same size. I don't know about a 400ex, but on a 450r the bumper bolts are the same size as the drain bolt:p

take the tank to welding shop cost maybe 20$. Do it right the first time , don't use j.b.

i wish it was that, it's the notorious broken oil tank problem. the little nipple that the bolt screws into on the the bottom broke off the tank:(

Yeah look up a local welder, Thats where i took mine. 15 minutes and $30 later it was fixed.

Do you mean the whole bolt came out with the some of the inside.

I had to get mine welded too becuase of that. Make sure you put a rummber o ring in next time. It took them 4 days andabout 70$.
