removing inwale

What is the best way to remove the inwale with out damaging the ends of the ribs that are nailed to inwale? :confused:
 
If you have no need to save the inwale, one way to remove it is to saw it into shorter sections between ribs, use a chisel to split the inwale away from the nails, then push the nails out through the rib.
