Lucky me, I'm not up to date on equiptment. I need to remove 9 door jams without a saws all. Any suggestions on the best way (and inexpensive) to go about this?

Use a hack saw blade (blade only) wrap the end of it in duct tape to form a handle then use this to cut the nails like you would a sawzall. It will very easily cut threw the nails and then you can pull the jamb straight out in one peice. Only pry if you absoutly have to because of the potential damage to the door frame and drywall caused by excessive prying. Hopes this helps. Good Luck!!!

Remove the casing with a pry bar and If you can't just lever off the jams from the door frame, cut one side jam half way up with a handsaw or circular saw (just cut through the jam, not the door frame itself), then lever out the pieces. Done.

You should just be able to pop off the door jams...use a pry bar. No sawing required.

try pulling the trim off, then see if you can use a pry-bar to ease out the old jambs. remove any tapered shims that may be present(used to level the door-set) first to give you some wiggle-room. good luck!

pry bar start with the trim once its removed you will be able to see the jam and get behind it once you get one started you will see what im talking about, get a flat pry bar it will be easier, also hopefully your noit talking about steel door jams
