My alternator recently failed so I just bought a new one and put it in. I took the old one apart and as far as I can tell by reading and testing it I think the regulator is toast. The regulator is available on it's own or as an assembly with brush holders. Since this is mostly a make-work project to see if I can fix it, I'm not really interested in spending a lot of money. Replacing the whole assembly looks simple enough. What about just the regulator (internal)? It's got 6 pins, but it's hard to tell how they're attached. Do they press in or soldered? Thanks for any advice.
