<VV> Regulator changeout

Read up on the procedure in the shop manual. I thought it was the Generator 
 itself that needed polarizing, not the regulator, but it has been many 
years. Be  sure to disconnect the battery first. Harry is referring to the 
rusty-screw  problem, at least on late models, where the mounting point 
stand-offs for the  regulator have the screws rusted behind, so when you go to pull 
the screws out,  the mounts just turn in place. Frustrating! If your mounts 
look "weathered", you  might want to "Kroil" them or use another penetrating 
fluid on the threads  ahead of time. And, maybe, have some vice grips 
handy.  -  Seth

I’ve never replaced one of these before, but it looks pretty  simple.
If anyone has any installation advice, I would greatly appreciate  it!!
