There's a "quick connect" fitting between the slave and the master cylinder that you should disconnect it at instead of at the slave itself. This fitting is maybe 2' away from the slave on it's way to the master cylinder. It was a white plastic "ring" in the middle that you use an a/c or fuel line disconnect tool to push against and then the fitting comes apart. Hard to describe without a picture. Mine is about 12" toward the driver's side even with the clutch inspection cover and it runs along the bottom of the car.
