I've always been able to remove that little basket on other VAG products, I've never been able to get it out on our Audis. Not sure why.
In an ideal world, we empty that old fluid (often dirty) via suction, refill with clean fluid and then pressurize/bleed with the MOTIVE. I'm not keen on forcing that dirty fluid thru the brake system if I don't have to.

I could not remove mine either without feeling something would break. I have an idea it has a one way barb so it cannot be tampered with.
I would need to see if they even offer a new filter to the point if you did break it out you could replace it but I doubt it. It is most likely integrated into a new reservoir as one piece.
Some master cylinders did have a bleeder on them I have read. I have one on mine but it looks to be welded solid so I did not bother to even try.
