TA,

It's a little late now, but for anyone else doing this, it's a good idea to use the old wiring to pull the new wiring through. At the least, tie a strong cord to the ends of the wires being removed. You can use the cord to pull the new wiring through at any time later.

For your situation, I would suggest using a stiff piece of wire (solid wire, like a coat hanger) to poke through the body grommet and use it to pull a cord or wires through.

Good luck.
