Help - Handle on front of hull... ??

[Autosport]

Ok, so stripping my ski to paint and my mate decided to pull the handle off the front and snap the bolts as they were no doubt rusted.

Is there anyway to get to the inner side to to grab the nut on the inside so I can remove and replace the the whole assembly?

looks like your going to have to drill and re tap it .

Started to do that... but given how much it has rusted I don't think the female part of the thread will be much good either... so prefer to just change it all out if possible.

I see this everytime someone tries to remove these.
