I used washing up liquid, very small bit around the rubbers(it dries up after and forms good seal)
I found a second pair of hands good for this.
The back of the carbs next the airbox generally had to be lifted slightly to get the right angle and then I used a pry bar from before the crossmember on the frame to behind the airbox in the 2 grooves and pulled.
Brute force indeed.
I would generally not suggest Vaseline as it is more if a proper lubricant and you could have the airbox in and tightened up and let the pressure of the pry bar and airbox might just slide of the carbs
