I need help!!! How the f@$#& do I get these wires thru these 1" bars!? They're binding like three inches from the end. And they're been difficult the entire time. Anybody got some tips?

Just thought of something we did to get wires through long stretches of tubing on aircraft - used compressed air to blow string through first, then tape or shrink tube on the end of the wire bundle, and use the string to pull it through. Sometimes pouring talcum powder (baby powder) through does better than liquid lube.

Use lamp pull cord. Ya know that dog tag rope. Heat shrink or braided wire covering helps also talcum powder and a push tug technique.

Couple of ways , you can get a 3' length of stiffer house type wiring and use it as a leader to pull the rest through with and don't tape all the ends in one big bundle , stagger them . Or do what I do I pulled the cable out an old throttle cable and use the ball end as a fishtape , works on the tightest bends
