You usually have to push the new brushes up to get them on the slip
rings, but the regulator should fit into the hole with ease.
There are other problems beside a bad regulator, though -- worn slip
rings that eat the new brushes off very quickly, and internal shorts,
etc., but none of those usually result in an overcharged battery.
If you cannot get the new regulator in correctly, I'd replace the
alternator.

Lots of sulfur in a car battery. Needs to stay there!
Yeah, next time I will too!
In all the years with all the cars and all the batteries, I've
never cooked one enough to make it smell!
But now I know! *grin*
