yes you can just replace the guts - but for what its worth I have always replaced the whole valve




the reason I asked was because I have only had to replace Apex ones - seems they are a fragile piece and do not like poor water quality/conditions or cooler climates

I have always sent it back to merchant/supplier and had them replace it as a warranty/quality issue
