try using pliers to pinch it down and pull on at the same time>

Push the hose in and pinch the yellow tabs and while pinching pull the hose and it should come off.
Remember the hose has to be pushed in FIRST before pinching the tabs to unseat the springs inside.

If all that came out of the filler neck I would say tranny fuild was leaking into rad coolant. R U sure all that came out of the filler neck. seems like alot of tranny fluid, also was there any tranny fluid in the the coolant when you first drained the coolant? Do A flush before putting in new rad.
