I got this tip from scottz, cut out the plastic you see near the head of the nail. I used dykes to distort it, then pinch it off. Then with a 1/4" socket on a ratchet, give the nail a rotation to break its friction from the frame. Then as you "unscrew" it, pry the nail downward with a pry tool of your choice. A standard screwdriver works. It pops out very easily. Replace with a #14 3/4" self drilling/tapping screw in the same hole, with a fender washer to fit.

I replaced all the nails with screws so when stuff breaks on the road I can get in there and fix stuff.
