Carbs stuck, I can't get them off!

<< < (2/2)

:) (Try a more gentle approach before resorting to the hammer.)
    Try using hot water \"not boiling water\" just very hot water rig a
    funnel & pipe & pour carefully on each rubber it will then expand
    under heat break its seal & prise off Start on no 1 then 4 then 2 &
    3 prising as you go along then they should come off ok Cheers

hmm... I tried with the hot water and prying with a hammer. Maybe I'm being too gentle because I don't want to slip and break something expensive. I'll be pulling the motor off the bike in a few days so I'll try it again when the frame isn't in the way.

~Thanks again guys~

Spitfire:
You may have problems removing the motor with the carbs attached, the other alternative would be to either try a hair drier or cut the rubbers if you are going to renew then anyway.

drums_till_i_die:
usualy theyv always came off if i just push the carbs down (with the clamps removed completly) push down on them and dont be gentle !!!! they will come off .   ive never broken anything using this method but ........... if they are this hard to get off , chances are always that it will be near impossible to push them back on .  in witch case you should buy new ones anyway since theyr so old and dryed out and new ones are cheep on ebay .
