Try undoing it and examine it carefully for damage and to make sure all components are present look in a manual or parts list to check what should be there.Dont force it you may cause more damage!

Thanks lads. Ended up using 3 washers on the bolt as the threads were bottoming out before the pipe was tight. All done now with no leaks (from there anyway).
