I have ceramic tile that has lifted due to tenting. I want to remove the mortar from the underside so I can reuse the tile.

I have a 10 x 8 feet section to remove clean and recement down. I heard you can soak the tile in water to soften the mortar, but this is not the case.
Chipping away at it is too hard, a Dremel tool gets overheated.

The grout is easy to remove with a hand tool and/or Dremel tool.
Any suggestions? What is the easiest way to remove the mortar?
Thanks for the help
