Unloading in a Spiral Dive: Pushing, Rolling or Both?

In a Spiral Dive, I've head it said to reduce g-loading prior to rolling in an 'over bank'. Does 'over bank' mean more than 90 degrees banked or does it include say 60-90 degrees of banking?

The Spiral Dive is a bank problem so shouldn't it be primarily a roll with aileron and rudder to fix it, not 'pushing' first?
