I'll have to look at the manual but usually they are just held in with 2 bolts, either on the back side of the jugs, or under the valve cover. The process usually involves locking the CCT so it can't adjust prior to removal. And locking the new CCT in its retracted position prior to installation, then unlock it once in position. I was able to replace the forward CCT on my VFR in about an hour and that bike has the throttle bodies in the way. 3 shop hours seems excessive to me.
