You don't need to, one option is to cut the old one out leaving 1-2" perimeter and weld, glue or rivet the new one to it.
"How to go about drilling the spot welds" a spot weld drill bit, there are a few different types and depending on how you plan to replace what your taking out will determine the best one to use.
