Hard to say without a pic or knowing how deep / far the rust is.

Have a look at this post viewtopic.php?t=150329&hilit=rear+jacking+point .

I have found it best to go in through the side panel above the JP and repair from above. That way you don't have to remove the jacking point. If it's not too far gone that is.
