To minimize the chance of a problem, use the old coax pull a rope through, and
then use a cable pulling grip with some wire pulling lubricant on the new coax
to help get around the turns.
If you are feeling lucky and the old coax moves freely in the existing conduit,
you might get away with just the tape, but cable pulling lube would be cheap
insurance there too.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Pulling 1/4" coax?
I need to pull about 15' of RG58 through some 1 1/4" aluminum tubing. There are
a few turns instead of a straight run.There is an existing coax already inside
which I am replacing. I have about a 4" pigtail of the old coax sticking
out.Should I tape the new coax to the old and use the old coax to pull it
through or should I use the old coax to pull a pull rope through? Or something
else?Ideas??73,Gary K9GS
