I'm no mechanic, but I know that there is a way, because I had to have it
done in my car once. Indeed the regulator was bad, but since it was
integrated into the alternator, I had to have the whole thing replaced.
The mechanic (and I) were able to determine that with the alternator in the
vehicle, and the vehicle running.
A mechanic can give you details.
