 To replace an existing lug, tap it out sideways with something blunt [not a screwdriver]. Then tap in the new one. These are rarely extremely tight and drive in and out easily, sometimes too easily [locktite it]. Do you mean to cut a butterfly slot from scratch?
If you need to cut your own slot is a bit more difficult. I can describe that if you wish.

There are always hanger bars, I've add them to H&Rs, drilled and tapped or with dovetails.  ;)

They aren't properly called lugs. I gave you full instructions on how to do it in my latest PM to you. I also added info on proper nomenclature for them and what a lug really is and what bolts are that many also call lugs. You shouldn't have any problem if you follow the guidance in my PM.
