Removing a panel from an external panelled door
The two bottom panels of a four paneled exterior door are damaged (maybe some sort of borer now treated) so I need to remove & replace the panels. The panels have single beading on the interior and double beading on the exterior. So what is the best way of doing this - I believe the door is Oregon and in future it will be painted on the exterior.

It's probable that the beading holds the panels in place.

There are many ways to build a door and you will have to make an educated guess. Without pictures it is impossible for anyone here to answer your question precisely and even with pictures it would still be a guess.
This page shows one way an external door might be constructed. As you can see from the drawing, even if you pulled off the moulding the panel might still be rebated into a groove in the stiles. You might get lucky and find it sits in a simple rebate and not a groove. That might show by measuring the depth from the edge of the stile to the moulding on both sides of the door. If the measurements are not the same then you probably have a rebate on the side that doesn't seem to be as wide.Franklin

It is usual for the exterior beading to be removed.

I replace a lot of headlight panels in windows and doors and in every case the beadings are always removed from the inside and the outside is a decorative rebate. This is for security. Do not attempt from the outside or you will damage your door!

at worst you can remove the molding on the inside of the door. It should be nailed to the style and rails, but might be nailed to the panel, or even be part of the panel itself.
If the panel is mounted inside a groove in the rails and styles, you will have to use a router to cut the panel out -- and in the process create rebate for the new panel.
It is not a job for the faint hearted, nor one I would attempt without taking the door off it's hinges -- meaning you will need a temporary door while you fix the current one.regards from Alberta, Canada

I don't know much about lead lighting but....IMG_20181101_114003.jpgIMG_20181101_113946.jpg
the moulding on this external (rebated) door are definately on the outside.
This grooved rebate door, on the other hand, has removable mouldings on both sides:

Here is an example of another rebated glazed door, with beading on the outside:

I'm not saying there aren't plenty of exceptions, but in my experience, it's common practice.

The reason the moulding is usually on the outside, assuming one side is fixed, ie a rebated rather than grooved door, is water ingress. If water gets in on the fixed side, it has nowhere to go but will rot out the door. Loose (fixed) mouldings are considered consumable (expected to last 15 or 20 years only)
Makes sense to me, anyway
