Left out most important part besides what others already said -- what
size/number of existing and proposed wires? What type of conduit?

You'll undoubtedly need to lube the new when pulling it, too. How easy
it will be to pull the old will be very much dependent on what is there
and how the run actually goes and what condition it is in underground.
A lot there will depend on how long it's been in place.
