Knock out a brick(two if its a two brick wall) to gain a hole in the other
side of wall above where the lintel will sit, wide enough to put a 2x3
piece of timber or scaffold plank to pass through. Pass the timber through
this hole and use the acros to support the weight(if any), either side then
do the same on the other side where the door way has been marked out. Then
below the support knock the first row of brick outs bearing in mind you
want a ledge either side of the top of the door frame for the lintel to sit
on. Once the lintel is in place the rest of the brickwork can be cut either
side with a chaser for ease of pushing the existing brickwork out rather
than bashing away with a lump hammer.
