When rebuilding the clutch slave piston, whats the best way to pull the piston from the housing to rebuild? and also best way to re-insert?

Air pressure(not a lot).

The repair manual says that I HAVE to replace the sealing washers on the banjo bolt.....is that true? if so....where can I get those.

I have used the same washer many times. Just try to re-use it. If there is no leak, don't worry about that.

Beat me, to it^^^ Fingers work, fine, for popping it back in.

As a general rule of auto mechanics. You should never reuse seals, washers, and torqued fatseners and bearings. The banjo "seal" is just a plain copper or brass washer. Available at any hardware store, 10 for 50 cents. Do you have to replace no, but you should.
