I simply remove the rubbers on the air box side fit the carbs then fit the rubbers afterwards, don’t know if my way is easier or not will definitely give your way a go next time and see 👍🏻
those intake rubbers will stay in position without anything like the rings 99% of the time long enough to get the carbs back in easily Especially if you warm them up with a hair dryer or a heat gun . Now if you can show me a way to get them out that takes less than an hour I'll be impressed as ****. I've done three sets of these beasts in the last two weeks LOL
Getting them out takes me 5 minutes per rubber. Untighten the coiled spring from the inlet rubber. Grab your heat gun or hair dryer and heat the rubber until it is hot. And when I say hot I mean really hot. Pry the rubber out of the airbox and carb inlet using your fingers. You can also wrap a piece of rope around the rubber and pull it out. Once out with the carbs removed, the rubbers van be placed back in the airbox. Fold them back, fixate with the ring for easy carb slotting once you are all done. Hot air is the key.
Heat up the airbox rubbers with a hairdryer and pry them out. Make sure to heat them up firmly until they get soft and flexible. Once they are out, the removal becomes a walk in the park 😉

Thank you for the tip! I have done carbs on 5 ZRXs and it is an adventure each time.

Glad I run pods! 👍
Some good to recommend?My throttle cable snapped today and I don't want to bother with that air box anymore...

How did you get it out

Thanks that's a great idea. I was dreading this.
Use a piece of rope to pull them out to the outside. It is doable you will manage I am sure
Good way to help do a tricky job, thanks for sharing. 😁👍
