    Old Conduit Pipe
    On a old house 70 years old. If they cannot pull electrical wires through
    The conduit even with a pull string. What do they do knock down the walls
    Or is there some special tool?

    Is the house actually all conduit? This would be odd for a house of that age.

    I think the house was built in 1960. The electrician couldn't pull the old wires out
    Of the metal pipe?

    It's not pipe. And you will not be able to pull out the old wiring, it is secured to the framing before the wall finish goes up.

    What are you trying to do?
