I basically have the Pegasus too. Though it's branded differently, it's the same machine.

 

I can't answer your question about the air filter. I just have a moisture trap which sits mid-hose, and I don't mess with it.

 

I avoid pulling apart my airbrush to clean it too. (If it ain't broke, why fix it?!) So far, I've had success cleaning it just by pushing about 4 to 8 ounces of water through the gun once I'm done. I flush it with water until the stream runs clear out the nozzle. My instructions also recommend putting your fingertip against the tip and pulling the trigger, which pushes water back into the nozzle to clean it out. Every 3 or 4 uses, I clean it in the same way with airbrush cleaning fluid. So far, no clogging or spattering issues.

 

My instructions also say something about cleaning the nozzle needle by taking the nozzle apart, but they sort of caution against it, because the needle is relatively delicate. If you bend it, you can adversely affect the flow around it and out the gun. I've never done this and don't plan to unless the performance of my airbrush deteriorates in some way.
