The nut in the tank is probably spinning with the bolt...this is a common problem for the 450r....get a drill and put a socket in it that fits the bolt head and just spin it for a min or two fast so it heats up, after it get hot you can just pull the whole nut and bolt right out...after its out just put the nut in a vise and take the bolt right out, then just JB weld or glue the nut back in the tank and it will hold great
