They often don't shift - at least on my 2 cars I have  a 0% success rate.  You could try spraying Plusgas into the socket and giving it a soak.

I have just left the TC connected and moved the whole unit to one side.  (In all honesty I can't quite recall how it went together on the 2.0 though)

I had the same problem... I was thinking of cleaning it in situ but thought it MUST come off.

I just bashed it with set of mole grips carefully and then it pulled off.

It was very awkward.

Try some lubricant on the inside of the joint...
