You asked how to do it -- here's my suggestion.
The hardest part is re-attaching the top of the hose. Everything
else is fairly simple.
1. drain the fluid.
2. cut the hose -- actually, cut away all of the rubber part until
all that remains are the metal fittings on either end.
3. Put a deep-well socket on these and remove. (For the top, you
will need an open-end wrench on the nut above.)
4. attach new hose to slave cyl.
5. attach new hose to hard line. I do this final step from the top
side, reaching down through the engine bay, using one wrench to hold
the hose and the other to turn the nut.
It's been a few months since I did this, so I may have forgotten
something. But that's pretty much it.
Also, when I did it, it was part of a complete hydraulic system fix
-- pedal box and both masters out, rebuild clutch master and slave,
etc. I actually put the hose on the slave before they went back on
the car, I think... but not important for your purposes.
Not that tough -- good luck with it.
