    I was hoping to reuse the holes so there is not multiple holes in the side of my house. I am guessing this is not possible. :D

    dont know what your fixin to wall,but say if their 8mm express nails and you snapped them , you could probably get a brown rawlplug in the hole .
    they do come out sometimes ,usually takes a big bar and a lot of strenght!

    You could also try drilling them out with an appropriate bit.

    use a consaw or grinder to cut of the flared end. take off what ever it is fixing to the wall.

    then go medieval on it. bfi is the only way. vice grips and wobble it around and try and pull it out.

    may be no need to cut the flare off, just crush it with the vgrips and rotate it around
