There are several sizes of rag joint coupler available, so you need to take the old one, or measure the hole spacing.

Then, just grind or drill out the rivets and install the new one with bolts. It's more time consuming than you would think, but it can be done. I think I had to grind the bolt heads for clearance on one of the last ones that I did.

Maybe get ahold of a Dremel and grind or cut those rivets out?
