Just one cavaet...

If this is the first failure in your (clutch hydraulic) system, be prepared to spend more money and more time in fixing everything.
This is especially true if all your components - clutch master cylinder, slave hose, clutch slave cylinder - are all original.
This is the weakest-link-in-the-chain scenario...
The weakest part of the hydraulic system fails first.
Once you replace the part that fails, the new part is stronger than the rest of the others and puts more stress on them, causing them to fail eventually.

^Roger that. The good news is the clutch hydraulics parts, even new, are relatively cheap. I recently replaced mine with new master & slave cylinders (Beck-Arnley OEM replacement parts), plus shipping came in at about $50 from Rockauto.com. Quick & easy job too.
