You have to tear it apart to do that.

Either 40 years of leaves or a few days with a mouse will give you both heater hoses hot and no heat.

Plan a day to pull the box your heater core is in. Have Lysol and/or bleach handy in case its a mouse. If its leaves, get some screen material to put between your cowl panel and the opening under there.
