Any ideas?
Those rubbers aren't in the right place so will still be holding the carbs tight.
Under np circumstances should you need a block of wood or a spray of this and that followed by more screwdrivers...
They literally fall out once those clamps are loose and in the right place.
So what is the right place?
There are little nipples on the rubber inlets. As you push the clamps around you will feel them sit into place.
Looking at the photo you have posted, you need to push them under a little...
Biggest issue here is that if your struggling this much to get them off, you'll have heartache trying to get them back on.
The little nipples are important. I posted a video a while ago on FB about the importance of them, I'll try and find a link but its too big of a file to post on here.
