    If you have already cut the bent end off you can drill out the center of the bolt so that it will collapse a little and can be driven out. All above suggestions are good too it just depends what tools are available to you.

    That bolt will have to be driven out with a hammer & punch or pressed out. Make sure it's done by someone that knows what they're doing so that the lower shock yoke and/or the rocker doesn't get damaged. Take out the shock & rocker as an assembly & work on it from there.
    Cutting of the section of exposed bolt won't really do anything except to maybe make it a little easier to press the rest out depending what equipment you have access to. More than likely it's a waste of time.
    After this is over, you'll need a new dog bone, shock bolt & nut, lower shock bushing & bearing and probably new seals/spacers while you're at it. It's also possible that the portion of the rocker that holds the lower shock bearing may be ovaled, or twisted - let's hope not.
