Welcome to the forum.
On most models, it's a matter of loosing all boot clamps in front of and behind the carbs, removing the air filter box, unbolting the forward air box (the one directly behind the carbs) from the frame and moving that box rearward as far as possible, pulling the rear boots off the intake side of the carbs. Undo throttle and choke connections on the carb rack. Some spray lubricant on the boots and/ or some gentle heat from a heat gun can help soften the boots. Twist and shout. Pull the carb bank out the right side of the frame. Then go nurse your bloody knuckles. Have yourself a Duvel, or 2, depending on how bloody your knuckles are.
Reinstall in reverse order.

Hi Rich, Thanks for your response
In other words there's no easy way to remove them...
Connecting the airbox back in particular is very difficult, especially to get all four carbs sufficiently deep into the connections.
anyway, as there seems to be no easy way we will do it the hard way
BTW: i like trappist more than duvel, but that only a minor thing. It's the nursing that counts
