Stuck Master Cylinder!

I'm replacing the master cylinder on my 1973 K10 (suburban)

What is holding the master cylinder on? I removed the two nuts that hold the MC to the Booster, removed the lines. It should come right off no?

I even removed the brake pedal shaft, but I don't think it's necessary.
I can wiggle it a little bit, but it's stuck on there!

Help!
thanks!
Nick

Might be rust build up. Put the cap back on and lightly tap the old master with a hammer.
