Subject:Replacing Voltage Regulator.

Before I go into this blindfolded, I thought I'd check to see if anyone had
any tips on replacing the VR on a bosch alternator, in the middle of
isolation, NM... (near the 4 corners.)
Some VR's have a way to compress and hold the graphite pins in place before
inserting the VR... I've had to opt for a AutoZone product, which has no
such feature... so... any ideas or advice?  This was the less expensive
option to purchasing a replacement alternator.
