HELP!!!!!!!!

[Precious]

So I'm still in need of help to get the carbs off my 1998 RSTD.

I've got the tank and seat off, the air box removed (man that things a pain in the A$$!

Now I have a stripped screw on the left front boot, the others are all loose.

Any ideas on how to get it off would be helpful, but I think I've tried everything, so likely going to purchase a stripped screw removal kit, recommendations?

Once I get it loose, what needs to be disconnected or removed to get the carbs out?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated, but please, don't tell me to take it to a dealer. I can't afford their rates and I really want to do this myself to avoid going nuts for the next several months! I hate winter!
