Default Intake Manifold Vacuum Banjo Port Loose

Pressure tested my intake manifold and the port where the KLR banjo fitting screws in is leaking a lot and started to spin as I unscrewed the bolt.

Does this thing just pull out or is there a special trick? I'd like to slather it in JBweld or something and put it back in (like I did with my brake booster hose fitting).

If the bolt spins, send the unit to a shop to fix, and might as well glass bead it and add a ceramic coating as well while its being repaired.

Mine started to spin out, I JB Welded the perimeter and that fixed it.
