You will need to prop the outside with strong boys and acro with battons inside. Then remove brick work and lintels and replace with new put a cavity tray In and weep holes to let moisture escape. Mulholland brickwork.

You'll have to use acro props to support the block or bricks above, remove old lintels and replace with new making sure that you have at least 100mm over lap and make sure you install weeper vents at both ends for ventilation . Thanks Craig
