I've been trying to get these damn carbs off for a couple of days now, granted that I get about 30min to an hour to work on my bike at a time. i have it at my girls house cause she has a big garage  lol. with that said I feel like He-man himself would have trouble pulling these things of, unless if im doing it the wrong way. ill list the steps i took and let me know if im doing it wrong

1 loosened clamps on airbox moved it back (gave me like 2 inches of space )
2 removed some hoses and what nots connected to carbs and drained the fuel out of them so on.
3 loosened clamps on both ends of the boot connecting carbs to engine block
4 attempted to rock carbs up and down while pulling on them... failed horribly

to be honest  though i havent actually gone full throttle on the tugging because im a little afraid im going to break something

should i just grow a pair and use more muscle or is there something else i should do?

Thanks, Adam
