Cut through the wall sheathing along the vertical cut marks. Use a utility knife, drywall saw or jigsaw as preferred. Work carefully, cutting just deep enough to slice through the material without cutting into anything inside the wall or through the studs. Watch for electrical wire, duct work or other items as you work. If you spot anything, stop immediately and pull the sheathing away instead to avoid cutting through it. Either push the object out of the way, relocate the cutout slightly to avoid it or consult a professional to reroute it instead. 5
Remove the sheathing on the opposite side of the stud wall similarly.
