I've done this with a real plumber - not a make pretend one like me.

We attached the new pipes to the old polybutylene pipes. He was on one end upstairs and I was one the other end. Lots of pushing and pulling, but we got it through the walls without cutting holes in the drywall. We did three houses like this.
