The fuel regulator can be disassembled without any problems, unless it has
high hours/ mileage.   The reg consists of a steel disc on a swivel attatched
to the diaphragm.  The seat is a tube with a square end. 

 The steel disc tends to get grooved by the tube, not a problem when the parts
are bolted together.  However, when you unbolt the diaphragm, it's imposible
to reassemble the reg in exactly the same location. This will cause low fuel
pressure.
