One slight mod on Patrick's feedback...

Instead of a rope or stout cable, I would use polyester mule tape (maybe about 1/2" to 3/4" wide) attached to the end of your old cables, so when your old cables have been pulled through, you can then attach the end of that to pull the new cables in, while allowing additional mule tape in parallel to the new cables to be pulled in, too.


And oddly, mule tape seems to be EAR99 (subject to Dept of Commerce export rules, but not specifically controlled) - So if you're shipping mule tape to some places, it has to be a for a permitted use (no using it to support developmental nuclear weapons in North Korea, for instance)
