I have the oil tank leak and am wanting to replace the O rings. I know the normal course of action is to remove the Throttle Bodies but read on a post here that some did this by simply loosening the clamps between the bodies and the seat onto the intake and was able to lift the bodies enough to get the tank out. I have loosened these and there doesnt seem to be any movement. Im wondering if I need to wiggle and pull with more force of it ultimately I would need to go through the entire removal process. Thanks.
 
The manual states to remove the TBs. It assumes the intake plumbing is in place. If you have pod filters loosening the clamps holding the TBs should allow enough wiggle room to remove the tank. Since the TBs need an air tight seal on the intake fixtures they aren't going to be floppy loose by simply de-tensioning the clamp screws. You'll need to add some muscle to the equation.
