If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.

To get to an internal voltage regulator first disconnect the battery ground ( negative cable ) then remove the alternator.

I'm not sure how the regulator is mounted in your alternator, it might have small studs with nuts on them, or small screws or bolts, or it may be soldered in. In the latter case you will have to cut out the voltage regulator and solder in the new one. If you are going to take out the alternator anyway you should probably take it to a parts store where they will test it for free and tell you if you need a whole new alternator or just the voltage regulator.
