I just did this a few months ago.  I was able to just push it through.  
First I removed the old one, blew any remaining crud out of the tube with 
compressed air and fed it through.  I don't remember twisting the wires but this 
is a common technique to move past an obstruction.  

I've successfully pushed wires through conduit but it doesn't always work.  
In this case the technique is to push a pull lead through (sometimes falled 
a fishtape), tie (tape, whatever) your wires to the end of the lead and 
pull the wires through.

The trick is to make the attachment to the fish tape in such a manner that 
the diameter is not bigger than the tube.

But give pushing it a try.  If it works it will save you some trouble.
