How to remove solid wood trim from a cabinet ?

Hello,

I am rebuilding some speaker cabinets, and in order resize them I need to remove the solid wood trim. I plan on reconstructing the cabinets and reusing the trim. The cabinets are of good quality, old (maybe 60s), and the trim seems to be glued (and not nailed) on.

I am not sure if there are any special techniques. My plan was to run a razor knife along the seam and then use a sharp, broad blade chisel and slowly work along the length of the trim strips tapping lightly to get under the strip. Hopefully that will pop it off in fairly short order.

Any suggestions or alternatives would be useful to hear about.

regards-Roger
