That is generally the process I meant when I was referring to the coathanger
wire
(trying not to confuse by saying just wire which could be misconstrued to mean
the
electrical wires in the tube). I've tried the string technique but find that
somtimes
the connectors want to cock sideways and won't slide easily through with just
the
string. I usually make a loop in the coathanger wire and hook the electrical
wires
then wrap the joint with tape to keep the bundle tight together to slide easily
through the steering box.
