Pulling conduit in the wing - 2 hours

I had a busy day with other things and I had an itch to complete a task on the plane. I started out with the intention to complete the right wing bellcrank, but there is something not right with the weldment I have. There is a bit of binding when I slide the bushing in. Tries it a few different ways. Nope. So, I will have to purchase another right bellcrank and hope that it will be better.

Not wanting to stop progress I jumped over to pulling the conduit through the wing. It took no time to realize this wasn't going to be easy. I read a few blogs on it and checked with Van's Airforce and the advice is there....Just jump in and pull it through. Makes an awful noise. I noticed that you basically crush the conduit in your hands by pulling it through. At first I was concerned I was wrecking the conduit, but soon realized that the conduit can be massaged back into shape.

After all was said and done....I really didn't care to do this again. Didn't take long, but just felt like i was using a hammer to work on a fine watch. Unnerving.
