Using a small, flat-bladed tool (like a mini-pry bar or chisel), carefully scrape out any loose or crumbling mortar from the joints and cracks that need repair. The goal is to remove all unstable material to create a solid base for the new mortar. Once the loose material is removed, use a brush or a blower to clean out any remaining dust or small debris from the joints. This ensures a strong bond between the old and new mortar.
