Richard, it has been a long time since I messed with one of those on a Milano but I think that Slave cylinder will turn in the bell housing hole. If so, you can rotate it so as to get to the snap ring.
If you are just replacing the master cylinder, it unbolts from the front of the booster. If you are replacing the booster as well, yes, that is a pain.
