    Loosen clamps on both sides, heat gun softens rubber, work on rears first, useful pry points between carb tops and valve cover.

    And, DON'T remove alloy bottom of airbox from the carb assembly !!!!!!

    I think this is the most important piece of advice. Do not remove it and you can actually use it as leverage for rocking the carbs out.
