I have halyards needing replaced, two of them go inside the mast. How do
you attach the new line to the old and thread them? Is there a best
direction to pull? Any other advice?

You had plenty of sensible suggestions. One cable/rope pulling method
I didn't see mentioned is a sort of "Chinese Finger Trap" called a
pull sock.
This is a diagonal mesh tube, that shrinks on when pulled, providing a
slim profile strong grip attachment. Here's an example.

Haha. Cool.
