Can't replace N55 chargepipe. Remove throttle body?

I've a N55 chargepipe that I spent more than an hour installing without any luck. I thought okay let me put stock one back and it won't go all the way either.
Problem is the O-ring. Both pipes fit perfectly without O-ring. But with O-Ring even the stock pipe just wont go all the way on throttle body. I tried oiling the rubber ring, etc. still despite pushing super hard, it doesn't go. Tried wiggling, rotating, nothing works for either stock oem or the metallic pipe




I also tried unscrewing throttlebody and tried pressurizing from both ends. Still no luck



How do I remove the throttle body cables? Didn't find any DIY

If I'm doing something wrong, anyone in South-bay willing to give me a hand?
