Fence post is rotting

[pokey126]

I have a 6 foot high by 10 foot wide fence. I noticed that a couple of the fence posts are rotting where they are dug into the soil. I want to keep the fence but just want to replace the posts. Can I just detach the posts and put a new 4x4 treated lumber post back on the fence? Any help is appreciated.

Yes you can,also over here we have supporting concrete or metal bracket which bolted to the ex-post for extra support into the ground but replacing the post is the better option.
