What is the easiest and best way to remove only the top plastic reservoir without disrupting the master? And can this carefully be done without introducing air into the system lines?

Remove the fluid using a pump. Then pop it off then on. As long as you don't open a line once removed, no air should enter the system. Install the new reservoir, then allow it to vent as fluid is added, the air should escape.
