Notice that if you remove a face from a solid, you get a shell not a solid, because every solid is the interior of a closed shell. That's way you cannot just remove the face from a solid. Instead of this you could use:
1. BRepOffsetAPI_MakeOffsetShape to get solid. Or...
2. Get the TopoDS_Shell from the solid with BRepTools::OuterShell() and remove the face from this shell with method... I don't know which method :)
