So this is a molded hose so there are more than two connections. These can have a clamp or a retainer clip that must be removed or released to help remove the hose. Start by draining the cooling system. Then clear out any items that are in your way such shields or brackets. Here is a guide to help you and I included a diagram below to help see what you are dealing with.
