I have a master/servo cylinder from a 1500HL on the bench for painting, this is how I removed it.
1)Remove bracing bracket for servo (probably not needed for cylinder by itself)
2)Serve is held in by 4 nuts on inside bulkhead
3) Master cylinder is two nuts to servo, nothing more on mine. It did require a screwdriver to lever off due to corrosion.
Hopes that helps.

The master cylinder does recess into the servo slightly and it is there that they can stick; gentle persuasion, plus gas and perseverance is all I can offer!

Over the gearbox to the slave which is mounted on the nearside of the gearbox body

Often not, but there is a flexible clip which fixes under one of the gearbox top cover bolts that loosely holds the pipe

I had the same problem on my 1850 HL.
as Alun said, plus gas, a bit of persuasion here and there.
