pulling carbs on the bike

I loosened the clamps that hold the carb set to the head ... is there anything else that holds these things down? I am trying to pull them off ... they wiggle back and forth a little but wont come off .... are they just stubborn? any tips?

I pulled my carbs last weekend to replace the jubilee clips on the thermostat housing. Get energetic - they hold on pretty well. Brute force is all I used, with some WD40 to get them back on.

Try pulling up on the carbs to pop the bottom of the carbs out first, that works best for me.
