Default Radiator Hose removal 06 A6

Hmm. Never seen this hose connection type. Anyone know how to remove the top radiator hose connected to the front coolant pipe? I removed the spring pin. I don't think I'll pull. Will try to twist and pull but thought I'd check in with more experienced folks.

The method I use is to run a thin flatbladed screwdriver between the hose and the nozzle to beak the seal. Then twist and pull the hose to remove. But if you use this method, you need to be careful not to tear/puncture the hose or damage the nozzle surface.
