LT230T Rebuild???

Hi all,
As you can probably guess I drive a 40 series cruiser which is great as an off roader but horrible as a DD. Im in a position to buy a 86 Rangie that is absolutely perfect with everything I want except that it has A whine coming from the transfer case. Being a 86 5 speed, Im assuming it has the LT77 g/box with the LT230T t/case? Please correct me if Im wrong.

How easy is it to rebuild these transfer cases?
Is it expensive (ballpark figures would be much appreciated)?
Am I better off looking for a complete second hand unit? ($?)
or,
Should I keep looking for another vehicle? (bearing in mind I can get it at a very good price).
Sorry about all the questions guys but I know very little about RRs.

Cheers
