Talk to the installer, you might be able to do a manual pull, ive done it a lot with CAT5 and its pretty easy to do if everything was put in well. Basically, cut the adaptor off one end, tie / tape / glue some fishing wire or equlivent to the cable and then pull it from the other end. You then have some nice strong thin wire running through, attach the new cables and preform the same thing backwards. Most experenced installers will of done this, but they may want your help as it wont be normal pratice. You may have to do the pre-pull (getting the cables out) before they get there.
