Default 650 prairie carb rebuild

How much trouble is it to rebuild the carbs on a 02 650 4x4 atv by novice mechanic?
How difficult are they to remove. Service manual says to drain coolant.Why?

I don't know the Prairie at all, but from old posts on here, setting the carbs on the V twin has proved impossible for a lot of ATV repair shops. I would be very wary of doing anything other than a clean, and I mend Quads for a living.

The rebuild is like any other carb, needs a clean work area and you need ro go slow and be precise and also use a good kit so you have all the proper settings. The trick is getting rhem matched to run together properly. I have done outboard motors with multiple carbs and special tools and vacuum gages are needed to syncronize the carbs or it wont run right.
