Anyone out there have any experience or words of wisdom to offer on
removing the internal regulator from a small alternator like a Hitachi
LR135-31 so as hook up an external unit that will properly charge GEL
or AGM batteries?

I'm not sure it's wisdom, but I am about to pull the alternator right
off the engine and put it in the spares locker to replace it with a
new unit and an external alternator. It works great now unless I want
a serious charge and seems like a great fallback option in the event
of a failure. I really don't want to risk breaking anything that
works, even if it means a few more bucks to replace.
