Naturally the one needing replacement is some where in the center of this long run. Can it be successfully removed/replaced with a new panel without removing all the preceding panels back to either end?

It seems I can snip out the panel by cutting a 4" wide x 12" long strip, removing that strip and then slip the remaining soffit panel out of the F channel. The portion of the panel that's nailed to the bottom of the fascia ledger board can? be un-nailed at its single corner support. The Aluminum fascia trim will probably need to be loosened in order to gain access to the nail.

Question? Will I be able to slightly bow the new replacement panel to slip into the F channel and also engage the panel to panel slip-ins and corner nail at fascia.? Any encouragement would be appreciated.

Thank you.
