As said, if are old and dried out they will most likely break.
- Should you go ahead with this, do it when the sun has been hitting the
shingles for some time so they are soft.
- losen the sealing tab by wedging a putty knife in.
- removing a shingle requires you to remove the nails from the row above
that and the 2nd row above it. The upper edge for the one you are trying
to remove is caught by that 2nd row above. You don't actually have to
remove the shingles above, just get the nails out.
- For removing the nails many people use various flat bars. But the thing
I have found works best for me with the least chance of shingle damage
is....a short handle shingle rake. Nice and flat. Many teeth. Prys at
teeth by pushing down at entry point so you are not bending the heck out
of the shingle you are trying to remove.
Renailing without a roofing nailer can be tricky. Shingles can get
damaged.
- Put roofing cement over all old holes and new ones since you're at it.
Also put roofing cement where the old sealing tabs are/were.
