Rear Fender Assembly

Have some rust at base of rear fender(inside) where bolts attach to running board. Looks like a separate piece of sheet metal but not sure? Can this piece be removed separately or is it an integral part of the fender. Don't want to influence too much and cause any damage.

Picture attached, your feedback is appreciated

Thanks Dennis, I will take a closer look for those spot welds
