You take up the trim around the walls and use pry bars (be sure to put a piece of wood against the sheetrock to span the studs,when you pry or you will get holes) After the first few rows it comes up easier. but you are left with glue with splinters stuck to it on the slab. Chipping and grinding off that glue is time consuming.(I used a cold chisel) I had a damaged section in one house we had and replaced the damaged pieces. It was nit picky. But it turned out Ok. You take the replacement piece and cut off the under side of the grove and trim down the tounge so you can wedge it in.
