Sounds like a job calling for a lot of cable lube.

Hi BigB,
I'm going out on a limb here, but instead of using one 90 degree bend, could you use 2 45° swept bends, to make the bends "easier"?
I'm not familiar with IMC fittings, but one thing I do know is aluminium is a real PITA to pull through conduit of any type.
My advice would be, if you are are in un-familiar territory, I would up-size your conduit, this will ensure that you don't run into problems with the pull.

I did my time with a guy that used to use the smallest conduit he was willing to quote, out on site, this made life a real nightmare, un-necessarily.
Take it from me, mate, bigger conduit makes the job SO much easier and less infuriating.

Tuggers can be rented. Check with your tool factor.

If you were close by, I'd rent mine to you.
