Change out check valve housing without rebuilding entire manifold?

My spa was draining back into my pool so I replaced the flappers and during my post repair check I found the check valve housing leaking from a tiny split around the screws.
Is there any old school pool guy trick to remove and replace the housing without having to totally reconstruct the manifold or even better any leave it in place repair options?

That's a tough one. Need to replace the check valve. Only thing that comes to mind is this inside slip connector. Slides INTO PVC pipe. Use it on the right side of the Tee :

 
The existing diverter valves are designed for two pipe sizes. If that's 2" pipe, the diverters will accept 2.5" fittings (coupler, Tee, elbow) on the outside of the socket. Use a reducer bushing to get back down to pipe size.
