I'm wiring in a rotary phase converter and am almost finished. But I don't want to run a separate piece of conduit to the subpanel. I only have to pull a single 6 ga. neutral wire through the existing conduit and it isn't that long, maybe 5', but it's metal flex and I'm having a heck of a time (read: It ain't happenin') doing it because of the 90 deg. angle and the other wires in there. There's plenty of room but just not making it. Tried to thread a piece of 12 ga. solid conductor through first to use it to attach to the 6 ga. and pull it on through but I can't even get the 12 ga. through. I'm trying not to go buy a fish wire just for this one job. Any suggestions?

Take the 90 off, pull the wire, put it back on.

Spike, thought about that. But it's run behind drywall. I just tagged everything, pulled it, and ran it again. Pain in the rear but it's all done and the lathe runs now. Backwards, but it runs. 
Gotta reverse two legs of the 3 phase running to the lathe. Sick of looking at it right now. Tomorrow's fine.
