Anybody got any handy tips on pulling new wire into the doors through the rubber bellows without damaging anything else? Lube? fish/snake utensils? infallible mantras?

I pulled through new wire in my 740 by removing the kick panels and the plastic panels that are in front of the door on the inside. Then, it was easy to see the rubber tubes and get wire through. Couldn't get the off without worrying about damaging them, though.

Do you have a 240?

You should tell us.

If you do, remove the kick panels and door panels. It's about a 3" pull, no problems.

'88 245, '99 S70, and eventually will do '92 965. Running new speaker wire. Had the rear door panel and B-pillar trim off the S70 last weekend, and the space in the bellows is really tight. However, the way that thing is wired, I'd have to take a lot more apart than the doors if I want to use a 4-ohm speaker without just running new wires(that model has 8-ohm speakers in parallel sets, so redoing with 4-ohms is not just plug-n-play). Main concern at present is getting the new wires pulled through without damaging the insulation on the numerous wires already crammed in there, or poking a hole in the bellows.
