Well looky, the latest Practical Sportsbike magazine has just such an article.
Its working on a Kawi ZRX which has Keihin CV carbs but principle is the same.
Apparently an M7 tap fits nice, screw in a bolt and heatgun the area and yank. Ideally with a slide hammer but shouldn't need one.
Only drama is M7 bolts are hard to come by. However my Marzochi triple clamps had them so borrow one.
The got a replacement from NRP carb parts in UK. You'd have to measure it and request if equivalent available. They measured how far it was pushed in and copied that with the new part.
Also thinking. . . was it leaking around the side? Shouldn't really with an interference fit. Wonder if you could seal that with a suitable wick in Loctite or similar that could cope with the petrol. Not thread lock, they do heaps of other stuff.
