Y axis Layer shifts

I have been observing layer shifts after some height only along the Y direction (bed movement) in my prints. The belt tension is set correctly but after hours of troubleshooting, I traced the problem to a crack in the Y motor mount. 

What is the best way to replace this part without taking apart too many parts? It looks like I can just remove the nuts holding the frame and Y-axis assembly. Since the rods are threaded into the Y motor mount, looks like I have to take apart all the rods and re-assemble the Y-axis structure again 😢 

How to prevent this from occurring in the future? 

PS: Have been using this printer for almost 3 years now.
