Had replaced "Masonite" Siding last Summer; Spiral nailed. Here's how to remove.

hammer a strong "putty knife" to cut material under nail head.
Grip nailhead with long dikes, lever-pry up the head, even a little bit is good.

Gingerly:Then use dikes to pull nail out, and CCW twist helps.
Smartly: use claw hammer to get under head and rock the hammer.

Must have removed a few hundred Spiral nails. (Reused most of them!)
