Since it is a load bearing wall - it holds up the roof, please let a professional do this.
I agree with Sal this is not something that should be done by someone without at least consulting a structural engineer
I will be honest, you should NOT attempt to knock 'any-wall' down unless, your a builder...That is asking for trouble big time.
We had a "free estimate" professional come to the house and he made the decision as of whether the wall we wanted taken down was a load bearing wall or not. Fortunately it was not and down it came, but we had to deal with the electrical wires.
Outside walls are load bearing, bring in a contractor.
