I had that problem the other day when i had to turn the carb around on my Axial .28RR i just tapped it firmly with the back end of a screw driver first tap it and get it to turn then tap the carb out, it worked for me

You may damage it somewhat but the way I got it out is by taking a huge flathead screwdriver and levering it out[&:]

If you can't take it off just clean the out side of your engine/carbie, then seal. It may not lok good but at leat you sealed it, just a thought

Or, you could try heating it up a little bit. That might make it expand enough to come off. You could just take it and put it in the oven for about 10 mins or so at abotu 300°F after you've taken all the rest of the engine apart so that it's just the carb and engine case.
