I wouldn't even try it. I suspect the problem is main shaft wear as well. I changed the whole gearbox when I had mine done.

I think you'll find that most of the wear is the shaft. I'm just looking at this problem myself...
Icky Hi,
I suggest you take a look at the Ashcrofts' site.

and more specifically the "LT230 FAQ's" where it states.
QUOTE I want to change the input gear on my LT230 for a later cross drilled type, can I do this in situ or do I have to take the transfer box out?
This is only available on a suffix C or later (last number of transfer case), it cannot be changed on Suffix A or B transfer boxes. On a 1.667 or a
1.410 removal of the gear is simple, it just slides out; on a 1.222 it in necessary to rotate the intermediate gear to a position where the teeth on the middle and rear gears are in line and allow the input gear to slide through. It is not possible to change a 1.003 in situ. topUNQUOTE
Hope this helps.
Take care Pantelis
Just a minor point of order on availability - are they referring to their products or gerneral availability?
