I removed the grout around the tile to be replaced and removed all the grout in the other joint that was cracking. My question is, and I read somewhere, that the removal should extend into the next joint about 1/2 way. In other words, don't end on a corner as they're more susceptible to damage after regrouting Is this correct.
Grout cracking because something wrong with a subfloor. It doesn't really matter how you will go into next joint if the strength is a concern- it is all about appearance.

It doesn't hurt to take a little more grout than is needed to remove a single tile. If you did stop grout removal at a corner it wouldn't be the end of the world. Why would that have an effect on future cracking? That's crazy stuff.

Good Lord! It is about appearance but it is also about proper installation techniques.
