Removing brake master cylinder.

[Pink_Floyd]

Any one removed their brake master cylinder?.
I have undone the 4 bolts above the drivers footwell and the 2 in the wheel arch, plus the 4 pipes into the engine bay. So its all loose now, but how do you remove th whole assembly? Do you have to remove the steering column? Or do I try and unbolt the master cylinder from the servo? I just need the master cylinder out so I can check it and see if the seals have gone.
