/diy/ - Do It Yourself

There was an old cable running through an exterior wall of my new apartment, and I wanted to replace it with another one. So I pulled it out (should've attached my new cable to it...), but now even when I try to poke a metal wire through it, I can't reach the other side, it just gets stuck. Seems like the hole is not straight. I also tried a trick with attaching a string to a plastic bag and vacuuming it from the other side, to no avail.

How would I go about pulling a wire through it?
