Are you replacing the outer?
Use the original one to pull the new one through with, a small screw with the head cut off to join should do it. If it’s just the inner then should should go straight through.
Beware that if you mess it up and have to drop the motor you’ll need the tool to remove the chainring with.
I just pulled a brake hose through like this with no drama. I unplugged the rubber pipe that the cables run through and did it in 2 stages.
