Looking for a good way to remove the auxillary venturi from a 40DCOE.

Any ideas?

I made a tool from aluminum that pushes on the center venturi support bars. It can be used with a plastic mallet one side at a time to get the choke moving. Then they slide right out.
If terribly corroded in place more drastic measures are required.
The 2 pronged fork like tool fits closely, and does not mar the support bars.
