"There is a strengthened plate inside the box section that holds the studs. Cut it open from the side to drop a high tensile bolt in after drilling it out. Then weld it into position and weld the box section closed."
Sounds easy !!Some pictures in the thread here showing inside the section so you know what your up against..

Info in Haynes manual as well.
You need to make sure its done properly as those two bolts each side are the only things hold the rear wheels to the car!

however that being said if the chassis is all grotty there and full of holes anyway then you may as well chop it all out and weld in a new stud
