.....Aint much to be done, but use a thin open end wrench, or maybe one of
those novelty wrenches from Craftsmen. It's a lot easier if you use studs with
nuts rather than bolts... Then, once the nuts are loose, you can just spin
them off with a finger.

  I have a BT-7 tri-carb that has been lying idle for two years now.  The
  other day I tried to remove the air cleaners inorder to inject carburetor
  cleaner, but had absoultely zero success.

  Is there some sort of magic tool, shortened wrench, bifurcated ultra thin
  socket that is necessary to do this job?   How can it be done without
  removing the all three carbs aswell as the throttle assembly?
