Buy a door, they're pretty cheap! If you were in Phoenix, I'd give you one! To answer your question, It's very difficult.

It's bonded to the door around the entire perimeter. To make it more fun, it's also bonded to the inner door steel reinforcement. I would consider buying a whole door from the salvage yard. Should cost about $150 or so.
