I have updated my phone to 4.19.1540.9. I'd like to keep a copy of the stock recovery for this version.

How do I extract the stock recovery image from this OTA update zip? Thanks -

the OTA contains the firmware.zip
extract it to your desktop
then open it and extract the recovery.img from it

I use 7zip it's free

I unzipped all the files, but then firmware.zip does not unzip. Thoughts?

Your download was corrupt or you did it wrong

In case someone else stumbles across this. I had the same problem trying to extract with 7zip.
So I renamed the update.zip to .rar & it extracted okay.
