Gary, I once used compressed air to get the piston out of my master
cylinder, I had inadvertanly istalled the seal backwards and it was really
stuck. So I used my air compressor and piped air in through the brake
fluid inlet while plugging the other outlet with a rag. This method might
work for your servo plug if you soak it good with liquid wrench first. You
might want to point it towards a wall and away from anything breakable as
it might fly out with force. Although my piston came out real slow, my
compresser was tiny.
