That shaft is easy to remove,  you press it thru the bottom a little to expose a circlip,  then you press it back twards the shaft and it;s out.  I learned this the hard way after lots of heat and I pressed the clip thri the lower tree.  Needledd to say I dammaged the hole.  I had to shorten the shaft and adjust for bearing size,  so I bored the hole and made an adapter/plug to weld in.  After turning it on the lathe I pressed it back in,  all is good now.

The way you cut it,  just put a sleeve on the inside of the shaft, drill some holes in the shaft,  and use a few rosette welds on each side of the cut.
