Both are a PITA to do but the master is by far the most awkward. Look for 
fluid leakage running down the back of the pedal to confirm a master cylinder 
leak. A leak from the slave can show from the small hole at the bottom of the 
bell housing. The removal of the roll pin from the slave cylinder is the most 
difficult part. Replace it with a suitable high tensile set screw (Audi did 
this on later models anyway I believe)
