The 2x4's were painful. I put each in a vise and beat it into submission.

I smashed off the wood with the hammer, then yanked the nails.'

Every 2x4 had at least one nail with a stripped off head. I cut them off with an old pair of linesman's pliers.

People have suggested to me that using a sawzall to simply cut the nails was a better way.   I _did_ try it, but I decided on this method as being the best.  Your mileage may vary, depending on exactly what kind of pallets you want to use.
