Brake Servo Access

I’m trying to replace the servo vacuum hose but having trouble getting the old one to come out because of its location and how tightly stuck in it seems to be. Tried prying it out but it’s in behind everything and I can’t get a good angle on it (or it’s just stronger than I am). Seems like I could take the master cylinder off and move it just enough with the brake lines still attached that I could get at the hose with some grips but I’m unsure, quite new to this whole thing!

remove as much of the loose, parts as possible, marking each part as removed. lots of wd40 around the hose,bit of heat maybe..

Yeah that's the way it's seeming, intermittent rain storms aren't a help either! Soaked up all the fluid in the reservoir to get that off as it's the main thing blocking but feels like I could lift up the whole car it's so stuck on; is there anything actually holding it on? Everything I've seen suggests it should pop off no problem.
