What's the best way to remove wooden base trim around a floor?

I will be laying laminate flooring and want to reuse the base trim, so I don't want to gouge it up too bad.

Thanks in advance.

First you need to cut any caulking along the wall and at the joints. If you can find the nail heads, knock the nails on thru with a small punch. Carefully pry the base off of the wall working along the lenght of the base a little at a time. You'll get the hang of it in no time.

prybar and a block of wood so you dont break through the drywall.
