The part sticking out of the cogged pulley? Grab it with a pair of vice grips, and then try and hammer it out. I am going to guess that the threads in there are trashed though, so, before you try and run a bolt into that, I would run a bottoming tap into it first.
No. Don't cut it at all. Grab it as far out as you can, set the vice grips as tight as you can, then try tapping it with a hammer such that it is trying to knock it as straight out as possible.
