Aside from the amount of money I spent on enough additional brake cleaner to get everything clean AGAIN and the cost of missing another day of work, it seems to be all good now.
A video of slave cylinder disassembly would have been reassuring, but mine pretty much popped apart in my hands once I took it off, so it was just a matter of cleaning it up, swapping in the new fluid-lubed rings, and pushing it back together. I did have to use the 3 mounting bolts and transfer case to get the biggest one to seat conclusively, then bench-bled and it was good to go.
If I'd known what simple mechanisms they were and how easily they came apart I'd have started doing this for myself long ago! Now the REAL interesting test will be if I can restore the almost-certainly corroded surfaces of the super-crusty slave that this one replaced which has been sitting around since last Fall when I R&R'd it after high-mileage failure...
ALSO, from now on I think I'll spend the time to use the 3 Fat Nuts to insert AND remove the spacer tool even if the slave does work, AND unbolt/move the starter b/c both create enough additional clearance to get that whole slave/PP/friction disk sandwich out and in with just a fraction of the previous blood, mess, and swearing. Zip-tying the disk to the PP until the shaft is into the splines also avoids a lot of rage...
