Hi;
Has anyone had any luck with pulling new THNN wires through an old BX?
It would be a way to avoid having to open walls/ceilings to replace the cable itself.
The existing BX is #14. I would try to pull three (black, white, green) THNN wires for the lights in the ceilings where access from upstairs is not possible.
I would imagine that this could work if there are no sharp (RA) bends in the cable. I often see RA BX clamps at the boxes, so these would be very difficult unless I can get the old box out.
Then, if I can get the box out, I might as well pull a whole new cable, right?
