Can’t get the wire all the way through again. If/when I can I’m thinking of tightly connecting something that will pull through whatever is in there.

For now taking break so I don’t get frustrated and break something.
Do you have a shop vac with a crevice tool? Try sucking it up from the top. Cup around the crevice tool with your hand or make something out of duct tape so no air gets sucked in from the sides.
