There they are, the little buggers.  Right?

See that little bracket thingy at the bottom of the pic? That'd be the rear stud, from the top. 
Note the ease of access.  

Sooo...if the rear one is pulled out, and somehow I bet it is, well, you have a challenge on your
hands.

Steps to replace:  Remove drivers seat.  Remove carpet.  Remove pedals.  Carve hole in floor. 
Replace stud, hopefully welding something in place.  Repair floor.  Replace everything that you
removed.  Reinstall mount.  Done.  And easy afternoon.

HTH!
