I just did this a few months ago. I was able to just push it through.
First I removed the old one, blew any remaining crud out of the tube with
compressed air and fed it through. I don't remember twisting the wires but
this
is a common technique to move past an obstruction.
I've successfully pushed wires through conduit but it doesn't always work.
In this case the technique is to push a pull lead through (sometimes falled
a fishtape), tie (tape, whatever) your wires to the end of the lead and
pull the wires through.
The trick is to make the attachment to the fish tape in such a manner that
the diameter is not bigger than the tube.
But give pushing it a try. If it works it will save you some trouble.
