This is one case where the real world does not mirror theory.

In theory you don't have to move the slave cylinder.  Disconnect the 
metal pipe from the hose.  Remove the retaining nut from same end of 
hose to disconnect hose form chassis bracket.  Unscrew hose from 
slave cylinder.  Installation is reverse of removal, remembering to 
reinstall the copper sealing washer at the slave end of the hose.

In practice, due to limited space, it may be more prudent to dismount 
the slave cylinder first (2 large bolts), then unscrew the slave 
cylinder from the hose.  This may allow more working space to 
disconnect the metal pipe and remove the retaining nut.
