Rule of thumb for MOT's. If you have something and its not operational/faulty, its a fail. If you don't have it, its ok.
Obviously this only applies to certain stuff (not steering wheels brakes etc). But AFAIK, the third brake light is not a requirement. So, if you removed it for the MOT, it should pass.

Use a piece of stiff wire, eg: the stuff they use for house wiring, and pull the wire through with it.

Alternatively, an old wire coat hanger might help.
