Removing Nails

I have a some asbestos cement sheet on the inside of a wall in a shed. It is in perfect condition so is suitable for DIY removal.

However, it's held in place with flat head nails. Any tips how to remove?

Dampen the area with water or brush or a thick pva mix, then if you can, lever the sheet with a wide chisel or lever. If the nail comes up, pull that out first.

If the board fractures, spray or coat the edges
