Sounds like it might be very low on dot 3 brake fluid, there is a tiny reservoir next to the brake reservoir that houses the clutch fluid. If low, add to it, it will get you where you need to go for repairs. When the slave or master cylinder goes bad on the clutch system, the first indicator is a leak in the system. Have both the master and the slave replaced at the same time because they both have just as many miles of wear on them. A safe fluid replacement time on that clutch system is to drain the system every 30000 miles for new viscous brake fluid. All fluids breakdown at different time intervals and will prevent major repairs when properly maintained by a mechanic that cares and does the job.
Go to a Kia dealer, go in the side door to the parts desk. Be nice and courteously ask the parts guy to show you an illustrated parts breakdown of your car's brake system. He will not charge you for this, but you must be patient. Then with a little bit of effort you will know the name and part number, how much it costs at a dealer, and about how long it takes a Kia mechanic to replace it. You could also look for a service manual and/or an illustrated parts breakdown of the whole car burned to a CD over on ebay.
Sounds like you have been talking to a very aggressive sales person!! Assuming the car is running halfway ok, & without seeing the condition of anything the most critical in terms of breakdown are:
belts
brakes
battery hold down
cap, rotor, wires, spark plug
trans, brake & fuel flush(by the way..no where in your maintenance manual does your car call for flushes of any kind!!) Go by what it says in your book
You need a pullers to get it off.But if your lucky putting a screwdriver between the drum and back-plate and pize it when your hitting with a hammer it may come off.good luck.
Do you still have the problem ? If so, try disabling the ABS completely (electrically) by disconnecting the 50 amp breaker and remove the ABS controller. You should have brake power restored and be careful as the brakes will lock now if you apply too much foot pedal pressure. I hope this helps.
