The only disassembly you'll need to do is to take the cover off. The tech tips article I wrote some time ago has some pictures of a regulator in it, and some information about how it works. They're not complicated, but the points must be clean. Disconnect the Battery wire before tinkering with a regulator- - -the cutout relay points can stick and damage the regulator and possibly the generator if they get closed accidentaly with the engine not running.
