Disconnect hoses from heater core at fire wall trying not to damage the exposed heater core nipples. To make a bypass, use a garden variety 1/2" copper plumbing 90 degree elbow as a coupling between the hoses and secure with ring clamps. Read the 700/900 FAQ for tips on dash disassembly to get to the heater core. A devil of a job, but if you have the patience it will save you a ton of bucks in labour costs. Be sure to flush/suction out all anti-freeze from carpets and undermatting. Check rear carepeting as it often gets damp too. Lift carpet and dry thoroughly to prevent floor board rusting. Unless you have a warm, dry environment, consider carefully using heating fans and/or heat lamps to speed drying. Good luck.
