Trying to remove decking held down with spiral nails, how can I pull the nails? Don't care about the decking.?

I want to retain the beams and rafters, however the decking has no value. Any suggestions would be appreciated, ThanksTrying to remove decking held down with spiral nails, how can I pull the nails? Don't care about the decking.?
Try using a cats paw to get under the head and pull it. If that doesn't work, Use a bar to lift the board away from the joist. If the nails are holding that well, they will pull through the deck board. This will not hurt the joist. After the board is off, either break off the nail or cut it off with a Sawzall. Hope this helps.
