You need to pull something out so can secure a messenger line in order to pull wire back up.

Has anyone else tried this?  It looks to be a challenge, especially as I hope to leave some existing cables in place (sensor cables and power cables). I couldn’t find anything on this in the C320 toolbox.  I see some warnings regarding cross talk and ferrites that I need to understand better.
