      Sure - just get your hand grinder and chop off the Rohn steel. 

      Then go to your rental yard and get a drill capable of concrete 
drilling. They'll sell you the bits too - they'll drill through rebar. Drill 
it deep enough, blow out the chips and dust and then epoxy in your pier pin. 
Done.
