It is quite common for the rear stud of the radius arm to be rusted beyond repair. New radius arms are not available at this time, so you will need to repair yours. When the channel of the radius arm was formed, the opposite sides of the channel were rolled closer together, and formed a circular area for the stud to be installed. A gap was left to be filled with weld. A hole was also punched on the outside face of the radius arm so weld could be applied from the opposite side. In order to free the old stud, you will need to grind out the old welds. Then press out the old stud and press in the new one. The damaged you caused grinding out the old stud will provide plenty of area for welding in the new stud.
