Change door swing in steel door frame

Hi all - hoping someone can help.

I have a steel door frame set into a single brick wall, which leads into a small ensuite. Given the size of the bathroom I wish to change the door swing from in to out I.e to have the door open out into the bedroom rather than into the ensuite.

The frame has the hinges built into it - I'm guessing I can cut these off and bog up the damage, as well as cutting a new bolt recess / strike plate and bogging up the existing one. Any tips on this?

Where I'm stuck is how/where to attach the new hinges? Anyone done this before?

I'm hoping this will save me from cutting out the existing frame and retro fitting a new one. In a lesson on the need for better planning, before I decided to rehang the door I already re-plastered and painted the bedroom walls - so I'd like to avoid damaging the walls if possible!

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
