My house has vinyl siding and need 3 panels replaced(damaged). I have some extra pieces and wondering about r and r. I have looked at the ones i want to remove and the bottom i got to pop off and looked behind the piece. I know you are suppose to use a special tool to remove the siding but bc i popped the bottom of in a small area can i remove the pieces without the tool? It is about 3 panels. How hard is it to cut? One panel is smaller. thanks
