Tools---carpenters knife to cut caulking----Strong painters tool--use as chisel and pry bar--- Cats paw-to dig out big nails...---smaller trim bar----regular flat bar--Sometimes a Sawsall to cut nails. There you go--------Mike-----

Sorry, it's not really the "trim" holding the window in, per se...It is more just maybe about 3/4" by 3" wood painted white as more of a decorative feature around the windows...so definitely not concerned with saving it, just not wanting to do damage to the underlying siding
