Along with this I suggest to avoid further damaging the old trim, that instead of punching or pulling finish nails out of the face of the trim, pull them through the back. A plier-type nail puller like The Extractor™ works really good on this application.
nice closets. purexplorer is right on pulling out from the back. I use channel lock pliers.
I use end nippers. They work the best.The longer the better.
More leverage on the great fulcrum.
