Ok so getting the busted ones out and the lead strip to hold the
replacement in/up fixed is not not a problem. But how do you get the
top of the replacement slate onto the batten that nails of the next
row up go into? I've tried various juggling and twisting and lifting
the slates above with the ripper but with no joy.

slates above the slate you have just replaced.
