Hey Bob. If you are an Do-it-Yourself-er type person its a long tedious job. Mortar After a while disintegrates. What you have to do is grind the joints out usually with what is called a mini grinder. Then you have to go back and do what is called tuck point the joints. Lowes or Home Depot will have everything you need to get the job done. That include Pre measured Mortar. You can ask the employies about the tools. You Can also type in Tuck pointing in any Search engine Like Google and get info on it.
