Iltis Alternator Problems

[BCA]

I’m trying to solve an intermittent overcharging in my Iltis. Two questions: the pivot bracket is hard to access. I see a nut at the rear end, but do you have to remove the front guard plate to access another bolt at the front end of the alternator bracket? Secondly, having removed the voltage regulator from the alternator, is there a trick to compressing the “Jack-in-the-Box” brush springs in order to replace the regulator?
