The part that you are pointing at is part of the lever, not part of the master cyl
So take it off the bike, then it should be no problem.
when you take a lever off the bike it should look like the lower lever in your bottom pic, the top "lever" is of only part of the lever.

Is that a factory replacement lever?
When I bought an aftermarket cheap lever it was total crap. I had to hand file all the parts to finally fit together.
As far as the adjuster stick a flat blade inbetween where the two come together on the brass bushing and wiggle apart.

well see this one is the old undamaged one, finally found the other little brown peice so i got the left side all back together. only reason i want to take apart the right side is to make it match, its just kinda dull, new one is nice and shiny

ah, gotcha.. well you can shine up the dull one in a few seconds with a buffing wheel on a drill. Or a bit longer with some elbow grease.

true, but also its a little different shape, i mean its really no biggy, just kinda one of those things you know. heres some pics so you can see what im talking about...
new clutch lever on the left, old brake lever on the right with the new one right above it
here where you can really see the difference
new clutch on the left, old brake in the middle, and the new brake on the right.
id just kinda like to have a good matching set, not that you even notice it unless looking but still
