You can change it without taking the box out but its almost impossible to check all the surrounding/connecting bearings.

You may be lucky and you can swap it out for a new one and away you go.

If your c-diff has taken any other bearings with it then your new one wont last very long.

The centre diff was about £550
The rebuild was about £1000 plus parts £400 plus removal and fitting £500

The back part of the box will split to expose the centre diff so if your just going to swap the diff I would say 3-4 hrs maybe.

Ring Dan at scoobyclinic, he will talk you through some options and a way forward.
