Question need help fast----trans dipstick tube ?

99 T/A A4, changing the converter and cant get the dipstick tube out. Anyone have any tips on how in the heck to get this out? It just doesn't want to come out. Then, the next trick, how to put it back in if it's this hard to get out.

Did you take the bolt out, if not there is a bracket on the tube held in by a single bolt.

Getting it back in just be careful not to damage the seal on the tube that inserts into the transmission.
