I need to rewire an Antique Lamp with metal curves it hard to get the wire to go through those curves?

any ideas on how to get the wire to travel smoothly. I thought about using a string to pull it buts its a tight area, and I was worried the knot would pull out. See sample like my lamp note the brass turns the wire has to travel through, so I can attach the bulb holder.

Hopefully you haven’t removed the old wire yet. just strip both the old and new wire 1 or 1 1/2 inch, wind the wires together and pull the wire through.
Other wise check to see if you van un screw the tubes from the base.

If not try this: Wad a small piece of paper into a tight ball and tie it to a long thread. Insert the ball and thread in one end of the tube and blow into the tube. Push some thread into the tube and blow again. Keep pushing thread in and blowing until the paper wad can be fished out from the other end. Then tie a string to the thread and pull that through.Then take the stripped new wire, make a tight loop in the wire, attach it to the string and pull it through. Help by pushing the wire at the same time.
