I just used a pair of long nose wire cutter and slowly snipped away the
potting compound. It came off pretty easy, it took about 10 minutes.

From what I can see it looks very similar to the circuit in the Bentely
manual. I couldn't wait until for a new regulator so I scrape at the
plastic portion of the transistor were the pin has broken off to expose
more metal. Tested it and it was still good so I solder the pin and
the board back.
I put the alternator back together and install it back on to the car.
My 3 week old battery was down to 10V but it was enought to crank the
engine and get it started. After about 6 minutes of idleling the voltage
on the battery when up to 11.6V. It was late so I stop the car and will
look at it tomorrow after work. I just hope the battery has not sustain
permenate damaged from the extreme discharge.
