Need to remove the diff, carefully grind out the old pan and weld in a new one.
Be fastidious about cleaning all the swarf out from inside the housing before re-assembly.
Welding the new pan in is tricky - you're seam welding thin sheet steel to a thick cast housing and you musn't let the new pan get warped.
Some people tack the new pan in 4 places and then fill the rest of the seam with JB Weld - that seems to work OK.

Probably easier to just get a cheap second hand axle unless you like welding.

^^WHS^^. Early 10 spline axle should be about £50 now. And you will be able to make the best of the two and have 'spares'.

could you use JB Weld for all of it ?
