Hello
Beginner here
Need to replace a board, how do I remove the broken board?
 
  • A damaged white wooden board in a wall, with framing and screws visible at the bottom, showing construction details.
  • White wooden boards on a wall, one with visible damage near the base.
Crowbar

P
Hammer or crowbar..
 
But how do I release it at the rule?
 
It goes under the rule
 
Unlikely that it is nailed under the rule, loosen it a bit at the top, knock out the nails, and then pull it straight up.

Stuck like a rock!
Any easier suggestions?
Can one pour something into the gap between the beam and the panel to make it release more easily?
 
Sitting really tight
 
The terrace is built against the cladding. You need to cut the cladding board at the level of the terrace joist and remove the part above first. Then you can knock away the small piece that sits behind the rule. It's probably nailed as well, so you'll need to get behind it with a hacksaw blade to cut the nails.

Alternatively, you take something sharp, like a chisel or axe, and carefully split the board so it can be removed in small pieces.

Thanks, we got it loose now.
When we put a new board there, should we hammer it down?

Preferably not. It's easy to damage the wood if you hammer it. It could leave ugly marks and splinters. Can't you just fit a new board of the right dimension? If you still have to knock on the board, use a block in between.
I strongly recommend painting the new board before putting it in place instead of painting it on site.

Thank you so much for the help.
