With the weld cut, like so....
We turn our attention to the inside bottom step.
It has a few tack welds that hold it in place. An angle grinder and a few shots with a hammer and it will be out of the way. You can really see all the rust and dirt trapped in there. that will all need to be cleaned up.
With that out of the way. We now move to the top of the door. Here there is a channel that holds the top of the door to the frame. Four small screws hold it in place, most of them are frozen in place, and will need to be cut. Once they are cut it pries out easily with a screwdriver.
After that is removed, A few good blows to the bottom corners from the inside, with a small sledge and...
It's out. You will just want about three people to grab it so it doesn't come crashing to the floor.
