You can cut the shackle bars and deal with the bolts and bushings later. A replacement shackle comes with all that stuff. Once the shackle and spring are out of the way, use a ball joint press (rental/loan from your FLAPS) and push the bolts and bushings out of the frame and spring together.
[on edit} Actually you should be able to knock the shackle bars off the bolts, except the one where the nut is still on it (I assume you can get that off.) Take a hammer and large punch and drive them off the ends.
