I own a 2011 Scion Xb with 35,360 miles on it. My transmission has gone out on it and I am 1 month and 6 days beyond the 60 month factory warranty and because I did not have the car regularly serviced at Toyota facilities they refuse to work with me.
When a ceramic floor tile becomes cracked, replace it by removing the broken tile and installing a new one. To replace a cracked ceramic floor tile: 1  Remove Grout: Use a hammer and narrow chisel to remove the grout around the broken tile, being careful not to damage the tile around it.
If you are trying to remove the tile so as to save the cement board, it is a waste of time in my opinion. It is grueling work to try to remove ceramic tile in an effort to salvage inexpensive cement board. I feel it is a far better idea to remove the cement board and tile all at the same time. You want to start removing tile where the ceramic tile ends and a different flooring material, such as carpet or hardwood flooring, begins. Do not try to start this job in the middle of the ceramic tile floor.
