Default Removing A Piece Of Siding ?

Hello:

Other than using a thin hacksaw blade kind of approach, any other good
techniques for removing a piece of house wood, horizontal,
siding (called clapboards ?) to get rid of the nails holding it on, that are
covered by the siding piece right below ?

Have never done this before.

Thanks,
Bob

That might work except the OP said it was wood siding. Maybe you are
joking...

I too almost suggested this:

Works great for removing vinyl siding.

I used a reciprocating saw with a long metal cutting blade. Just slip
it under the siding and cut the nails off. I did this to replace all
the damaged siding before painting.
