Last week I had to take 3 doors off at my wife's family cottage to plane them. One was 4' wide and weighed a ton. I tapped in 4 nice sturdy wedges underneath the door bottoms to take the weight, and had mrs Notfarnow keep it steady. They came out without drama. The pins were painted in so badly I couldn't get them out.... had to actually unscrew the hinges from the door jambs.
reread you post... are the doors themselves actually brass? that's nuts!!
sorry for the hijack!
