Hi
Hoping someone can help me. Had previously drilled hole in internal cavity wall to supply tv signal to tv in conservatory. I then decided to remove cable, so that I could feed Ethernet, then original coax throetc. (Made a bit of a horlicks with original hole. Was awkward to drill, v low down and long masonry drill bit etc)
Long story short, tried to pull coax out of the hole, and it seems to have got stuck. Upon examination, it looks like the cable must have twisted when I pulled it through originally. God knows how, as a straight line. Can provide pictures, but definitely a lot of cable, higgledy piggledy in hole.
I’ve given up on rescuing current coax and happy to replace. Just concerned about removing the twisted section. Would you suggest cutting at both entry holes and then trying to remove?
Thanks.
