Default Advice please-joinery!!

Joinery isnt my speciality.

Further to my recent bathroom post,becuase the bathroom is so small,i
thought id arrange for the door to open outwards instead of into the
bathroom. Unfortunately the rebated section of the door frame is
actually part of the wood,i.e it has been manufactured/routed as part
of the door casing so its not just a case of prising off a strip of
wood and repositioning it to allw outward opening.

As the walls are of studded/plasterboard construction and the floor is
chipboard, I was thinking that i could prise off the architraving
around the door casing and cut/remove any nails/fixings that are
holding it place,get the door casing out and rotate it and refix it so
that the door rebate is now facing outward into the upstairs
landing,then refix the door. Does this sound like it'll work ?!
