replacing or rebuilding the clutch MC is a fairly time consuming task so depends on your schedule, access to a place to work on the car, and tools.
you will also have to bleed the clutch line after doing this work so will need some fluid, collection bottle, and can use a pressure bleeding system too (not hard to rig up) or some say you can gravity-bleed the clutch (do a search as this would be the simplest way). regardless, if you want to do future brake work, a good pressure bleeding rig would be a good investment now and will pay you back 10's of times.
one special tool you need for disconnecting the clutch MC from the clutch line is a 13 mm crow's foot wrench. You also need it to turn the bleed nipple at the slave cylinder, so dont start the job till you have one of these puppies. get the ones that look like a hooked finger , not the offset or 'straight' crows foot ones.
if you decide to DIY post back and we'll walk you thru it.
oh, you may have to take the knee bolster off (PITA) to get at the clevis pin connecting the pedal to the MC. at the same time inspect that hole in the pedal to see if its turning oval and giving you clutch slop.
