How does it come off please?

If its just the master cylinder:

Disconnect brake pipe lines and wrap them with rags. Ensure you bung up the master cylinder holes when you remove each pipe too.

Once all 4 are done, undo the two 13mm nuts that hold it onto the servo.
It should gently slide towards you then come loose.

There's a cotter pin in the bottom round metal plug thing.

That's off the brake cable. I've already pulled that out but can't seem to loosen off the cable
