It's inside the tank. It's a mesh affair accessed by removing the petcock.

Empty the tank. Undo the screws holding the petcock. No supernatural abilities required.   ;)

That's entirely up to you.  I've removed and replaced mine many times. I have had the odd leak a few times but these were corrected just by making sure everything was assembled correctly. Take pictures during disassembly to help reassembly.
