I have a shed base laid using a slablayer (http://www.wickes.co.uk/Blue-Circle-Slablayer-20kg/p/153707) which is part sand part cement, you wet it and it settles after a bit.

Now I've got one slab that is slightly higher than the others (although the shed base is level as a whole) and I feel I need to remove it to re-fit in level with the other slabs, however this slab is positioned right in the middle (please view attached image)

It has settled so it's not a simple pull and it's right in the middle of others so if there's a tool that allows me to remove it to reposition it at a lower level?

thanks

spade or smash it up to remove
assuming they are about 16"the shed base should be fine with that one missing assuming the shed has a timber floor
 
Google brick tongs
didnt know such a thing existed :D

edit ahh for "carrying" bricks in the same way as a board lift yes i know they exist just didnt twig the clue is in the name i just saw slab tongs/lift in my head :D

may be difficult if the postcrete is gripping that and surrounding slabs well
