Wing wiring
Ok gurus, help me out here. I would like to pull the wiring out of the wing and replace it. I have them unhooked from nav lights and strobes. Found a couple tie wraps in last two outboard bays and removed. Here's my question, should they pull or are there tie wraps all along where I can't get to.

I just replaced my wingtip and landing lights this last spring. while I had the wingtip off i wrapped the new wires and tapped them to a piece 1X1 aluminum angle and fed the angle all the way to the cab and then grabbed the wires and removed the angle. I then fed just the angle in from the other wingtip taped the wire too it and pulled it out to the wingtip. I tried tubing originally but found it was too flimsy, the angle was much more rigid and I was able to twist it to get it to go through the holes in the ribs.
not sure if this helps but it is what I found and it probably only took 20 minutes to complete, not including wingtip removal.
the old wire is still in there.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing
