If you're trying to remove the hose, remove the clamp and work a small flat-blade screwdriver under and around the hose. That and a little force should get it off.

That’s probably just stuck on there because nobody has removed it before. Like said above, use something to kind of break the seal that has formed, and it should pop right off. Honestly, the other end of that charge pipe, where it meets the throttle body, is usually more of a pain for me.

Haha, funny you mention that. That clip had me stumped for a while until I noticed that one part of it was see through
