Smile slave cylinder and master cylinder

hey guys i have a 86 13b non turbo and my clutch is really soft and it sticks to the floor, my question is..what are the steps on replacing the slave and master cylinder?
i heard its a lot cheaper to rebuild them vs buying new. any input would be appreciated.

Have you tried bleeding air out of the system yet?

Both the MC and slave are easily accessible and should be replaced as a pair.
Use a new hose as well.

The three parts cost @ $100 total and I'd use new rather than try rebuilding them.

I'd highly recommend replacing everything. My '86 sport had the slave cylinder go out. I had to replace it because the rubber hose had deteriorated. When I replaced it, the Master cylinder went out because the rubber hose gunk was still in the metal line. In face, I just replaced everything on my TII because the slave was leaking. Mazdatrix sells the slave and master for about $60, a steel braided line for about $15, and the hard line for bout $15.
