Turns out the ultrasonic tank at work wasn't big enough to take the whole bank, so I was considering doing them singly. Instead I opted to soak them in a bucket of carb cleaning solution and use lots of elbow grease. Not too bad so far.
Trigger:
I would not advise someone to take these apart unless they know what they are getting into. There are so, so many little parts to them. But, you can get them apart to change the 0'rings in the T pipes by taking the 8 big cross head screws out of the big alloy rail that holds them together.

Ok, now more ignorant questions - what is the T pipe?
Trigger:
A T pipe is the part that feeds fuel to the carbs. Look at the carbs as a set of 2, and the two together make the four. The carbs need to be fueled so between 1&2-3&4 you have a T pipe. If you look between 1&2 you should see a pipe that the fuel line connects to. On 3&4 it will have the same pipe.
Bloody hell, this is hard to explain.
Trigger:
Number 1, which is the 4x 0'rings go on to the T pipe>>> http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550f2-super-sport-550-four-1977-england_model17121/partslist/E17-1.html#res
