Punch out the hinge pins with a 4" nail. Bend the knobbly bits on the
hinge leaves that are stiil fixed (to the frame) out of the way. Prepare
to catch the door and have someone tap it through. This is presuming you
have ordinary old fashioned hinges and no bolts or studs sticking in the
bottom, top or hinge side of the door.

The alternative is an hacksaw, use wedges to give yourself more room. A
door is about 45 mm thick so you might use a jig saw on packers to do
it. Again you need to get more room to work by separating the hinge
leaves. Good luck.

Sorry I was little short with you.
