Can An Actuator Be Replaced, If Built Into Transfer Case?

The cheapest used case online is around $1000. Many places have it at $1800-2000. All the ads mention the shift motor. Either being good/bad. I didn’t know a t-case was $2k in a junkyard. Seems like a gold plated part.
You spent money to get your rig running. But not moving. Such is life.
