How to disconnect transmission cooler lines from radiator?

I am replacing my radiator this weekend. As a pre-work, I checked all lines going into the rad, and made sure they are not stuck in place.

I found two metal lines on the passenger side going into and out of the radiator that are stuck in place. I am pretty sure they are the transmission cooler lines.

I removed the bolts that held them, but they won't budge.
Is there any trick to disconnect them from the radiator?

Thanks.

They stick. Try to pry on the flange (gently) above the pipe and use the pipe on the other side to start rocking it out.
