A sds hammer drill with roto stop and a chisel will make it much easier-

You'll also need some gloves, safety glasses and ear defenders and possibly a dust mask :wink:

as the boss as said.... :thumbleft: :thumbleft: ...and its "good fun"...doing that...after you have done that,any small damage to the floor you can infill either with a rapidset floor tile adhesive or use ardex rapidset,or use a 2part latex self level compound and screed to whole area ready for the new flooring.
