Pictures and a better description would help. Many members here have done cutouts but without more info we can't really give you any advice.

Easiest way is to staple a window screen cone over the entrance that comes down to a hole the size of a pencil. Put a nuc next to it or quite near by, you may have to build a temp support for it. Bees can fly out but can't return to wall colony. The nuc will need plenty of room as it will build up fast. After several weeks of brood hatching and population reduction there won't be much left in the wall. Works real good and is pretty easy.
