There isn't really a trick Ben, you just need to be gentle........I sort of evolved the technique by practising removing and refitting the old slave a few times when I first did the job.
The original AP now Delphi slave cylinders were much more forgiving, and you are correct they have flexible pipework.
When I fit the next clutch to one of my own, I have a new old stock (2003) AP slave and a Borg & Beck cover and driven plate (Land Rover branded, not the badge engineered rubbish "Borg and Beck" now currently available).
I always wash out the inside of the bellhousing and inspect the guide tube, and a lightest smear of moly grease on the tube, and input shaft splines.
When I remove the slave from this car, I will be checking to see if the original pipes can be fitted to the new slave, simply as the original type pipework transmits far less noise into the cabin than the version with metal pipework
Have fun when you do the job.
