Can rear beam studs be removed/replaced? - snapped one

[pellom at yorku.ca (Sal Guzzo)]

Mark,

you can access the bolts by removing the rear seat.  There should be a 'soft' spot right above the rear
axle bolts which you can remove and then have access to drill out those studs and replace them with
bolts or what not.
