Anyway U surently need to cut wire with cigarette lighter while pulling it, so it will have nice cone at the end of the wire, and about 300mm (~1ft) straight line. Then while pushing it into low guide it should go qiute smooth. While pushing it through part the hole should be about 5mm so wire don't have a place to bend. Then only hard thing is to aim into the lower guide.
And of course everything needs to be clean. And did i mention about cleaning?
