The ball has in fact snapped off, so (hopefully) it will prove possible once the rear section of body has been removed. I imagine it may be wise to replace both sides while the car is in bits and also treat any rust that there might be. Where will I find replacement bolts with balls on (to quote a phrase!) ? What are they called? Will they need to be Hi-tensile? Or would replacements in stainless steel be adequate if available? Will I have to maybe have one made up?

Then you should be reliable to remove the big fiberglass panel That goes right round the rear of the tub, it's all eleven piece. One that's out You should be reliable to see what's in in Original pictures. As Steve says, it is in a bit of a recess in the chassis. If it's snapped off at the thread at right angle drill adapter and a stub drill might just get in there. If you are lucky it's just snapped off at the ball and the remnant will Still Have the hexagon on.
