You can actually rebuild the slave cyl while it is still attached to the
tranny and in the car.
Remove the cotter pin and rod from the slave from under the car, remove
dust cap, inside circlip (if any) internal piston and cup.
Hone out the slave, replace the piston with new seal.
This is much easier then removing the slave which is not terribly hard
just a real pain in the *** thru the hole in the lower footwell.
Good luck
