It can be done if you know how, the blocks are held in place basically by the jointing sand, not the compaction. You can lift the blocks after clearing the jointing sand, using a thin trowel or similar to lever them up. I have replaced oil stained blocks this way.

I found this site helpful

Good luck. |
Good advice and that website is most excellent. I have gained all my knowledge on the subject via that and a few books*. Hindle, it might be worth asking a question on the forum over there, plenty of decent advice to be had. You might have to wait a few days for a response though
*I'm not an expert or anything but have laid a couple of drives from scratch.
