This picture shows that I have broken the stucco out on the right hand sided of the old door. Since the door is protected from the weather, it is probably safe to do this stucco removal in stages. The rain can't get to this part of the door anyway. Also, it is so dry in northern California this year that it might not rain at all!
I will try not to disturb the old flashing. If the old flashing has to be replaced, you have to break out more stucco than the 5 inches that I have removed. Eventually the door will be trimmed with rough sawn 2x4 stock, painted white. After removing all the old windows in this house several years ago, I found that the stucco can easily be removed with lots of short quick hammer blows. Try striking the stucco with the edge of the hammer head. Don't hit too hard as you can crack the drywall on the inside of the house.
