Cutting the lower shock bolt out of the metal sleeve

What would be the best way to go about cutting this? The bolt is seized inside the metal sleeve.

I’ve been hammering and soaking for the past week with not a mm of movement so I decided to cut the eye from the shock to get better access.

My route would be to drill it out.

Not ideal , last resort scenario really.

Decent drill bits , start small gradually increasing bit size should prevent drilled hole run off.

I ended up cutting the bolt head off then cutting down between the sleeve and bracket (as close to the bracket as possible), finishing it off with a chisel and prying it out.

Thank you for the reply anyways.
