Front Brake Lever Piston Seized (Day 84)

So having opened the front brake reservoir I now need to dismantle the front brake lever piston assembley which I know is also seized.  And I am not very sure about this glass piece in the reservoir.  It's very hazy and lined (click on image to enlarge).  Does this bit come out and can it be replaced?
 Here is the piston after the brake lever has been removed.
 This is going to be another caliper piston story.  But this time I can't use an air pump to push out the piston as there are also holes in the reservoir chamber where the air can escape so no pressure can be built up.  What to do?
