I have a 2000 audi a6 2.7t, I am trying to remove the lock carrier, there is 1/2 inch metal hose that runs behind the radiator from the top passenger side all the way to the driver side charge air cooler. I unbolted the connector at the end of hose, but really have a hard to pull that hose out. Quick response is really appreciated.

In the below image, the hose is running on top of the fan and then downwards on the life side of fan and then all the way to the driver side.
