Welcome to MUD 
Tried to find a diagram for you on PartSouq Auto Parts Around the World - https://partsouq.com
I didn’t find the right diagram, but if you enter your VIN number and search for the lower tie it might answer your question. PartSouq has the same diagrams as the dealer.
I’ll dig into my FSM (factory service manual) to see if it mentions anything. You can download a copy here on MUD.
Edit...^^^ that’s the diagram above, I was looking for.

Ive been there not long ago. You need to swap the whole thing out. Once you cut the thing aprt to reomve it you will see that it is a rather multilayered structure there that would be tricky to separate, even if you had just the lower part. I posted a wanted ad on the classifieds here and had a nice rust free one from texas in my shop within days.
