Removing Check Valve In New Trans Cooler Line

I just got the 94-95 trans cooler line for my 97 so I can install a trans temp gauge. I was wondering how to remove the check valve in that male end of the rubber hose. Is their any trick to it or am I just that stupid?

Looks like it would maybe thread out. I've had a screwdriver in there trying to push or turn it out, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Also I had to get an male/female adapter fitting to thread my sender into so I could thread it into the port on the line. The port hole is larger than the sender is. Is their any certain depth or area that the sender has to be in to accurately read the temp, or will the port area just fill up with the fluid and show the accurate temp? I think I was reading something about this in the archives, but I forgot what the conclusion was.

Thanks
