The best way is to use a hammer to pry off the old siding and then use a nail gun to put the new sheets up. Be careful to use a chalkline, tape measure, and level to keep things looking nice and straight!
I added a couple of links if more detail is required.
I have had the best luck, being I do siding for a living, that if you take a standard cro bar and duc tape a block of wood 6-8 inches from the pry point, not the curved end, you can pop the siding off easilyObviously you have to start from the top. Kust some advice, if you have corner boards that are mounted to the building and not over the siding, which is better anyway, be sure to pre caulk the corner board to the building before reinstalling new siding, same with window trim. Watch for nail embeded siding on the ground, that really does smart~
