Try and get something behind to lever it up a bit (protect the wood) and then grab the head with pliers and twist counter-clockwise whilst pulling.
I used an old chisel but be careful.

There is no head it snapped off that's the prob lol
Ah, that is a problem!
Are you planning to put another nail back in it's place? I've had a couple snapped off, I ground it down as much as I could and used a centre punch and hammer to get it below the surface and left it there. A small piece of double sided tape will work at keeping the rail in place.

I was planing on puting another in because the rail has a hole for one spose I could use a punch and gamer it through to the inside
That's not a bad idea, I never bothered putting the nails back in mine as they tend to scratch the ****e out of the back of the hinges every time you drop the backbox. Not sure if that is a problem on yours though.

No on system 6 the back box has no hinges
