I think you can only get the master and slave along with the hose as a complete set. Since it's already filled and pre-bled it shouldn't be too big of a deal to change. Before you go and spend any money though, have someone operate the clutch while you watch the slave. Also check the fluid level in the reservoir.

the local parts store has just the slave. i know that it is leaking from in between the back of the slave and the boot. it leaks heavily when the clutch is pressed and the diaphram is out. i need to know if you need a pin popper for the hose or if i can just get a wrench around it.

You'll need a punch for the hose. Be prepared to be real patient when it comes time to bleed it.
