I'm with Shiny on this one.  Plush down then pull up then down....They will come off.

When you pry in one spot you run the chance of hurting something. I'm not fussing at you,just sayingWhen I do it I sit on the bike and grab the two outer carbs in my hand and push down.I don't do it with a shove or a jerking motion.I just push down and gradually just keep pushing harder until they pop off. The rack or frame that the carbs are mounted on are somewhat brittle and can easy to break if you pry too hard in the wrong spot,but when pushing on the carbs themselves you spread the load out and you can push pretty darn hard without hurting anything.

My boots are hard like bricks. I'm sure soft,supple boots would come off easier,but mine still come off OK. I would say don't pry with a tool,but just keep pushing. Good luck!
