If you have issues, get some wire lube at Lowes/Depot and lube them up 
real good.  Push them through, but use Randall's fish wire to guide them 
and nudge them.  If you really pull, you may stretch the wires... and 
you shouldnt need to.  (It pays to watch the electricians pulling wire 
through conduit.)
