I am pulling wire through a hdpe conduit smooth wall and we are installing wire lube but the pressure it is taking is not good.It is a 1 1\2 conduit and I am pulling a six stand fiber over a 500 foot run.Is there any ideas on a easier way,the tension is very high and I am worried about breaking the fiber.We blew a string in with no problems and there is no blockage,I never had this problem before.any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Open your conduit every 100' and try pulling is sections.
