My home has brick siding around the garage doors. Our home has settled and has caused a gap in the brick siding. The gap is in the middle of the siding. How can I repair it without replacing the entire siding? It looks like the width of the gap is wide enough to insert the bricks with some, but not as much mortar as the rest of the bricks.
What do you think? What materials would I need?

Call a masonry contractor. It might be possible to fix or stabilize the wall without total disassembly, but simply removing and replacing bricks due to a settlage gap is not really accomplishing anything. If rain is a problem patch the gap temporarily with mortar in a caulking tube and a caulking gun.
