When replacing an outer door skin, the damaged one is removed by grinding the perimeter edges. A new panel is then hammer/dollied on (lips bent over edge of door frame flange) and given a couple of tack welds. You cannot remove an outer panel and then install it onto a frame. If you have a door assy; esp. one of matching color, the easiest repair is to swap the complete door.
