I purchased the Sears tool to compress that springs and, then, after reading more posts about the AOS replacement read more and more about cutting that hose.

My plan, when replacing the AOS, is to do a bunch of other stuff while I'm in there. Plugs. Tubes. WP. LTT. Wheels coming off. Under carriage plastic coming off... fender liners... I'm opening that MF up for as much room as possible.

Read as many posts as you can... and figure out what else you can do while you're down there.
I’ve done this a few times and one of them was a Tiptronic Trans and yes the easiest way to remove that hose is to cut through it. Just be careful cutting through making sure you don’t cut any other components.
