Abstract: A cutting wire placement tool includes an elongated tool body, a pulling element carrier structure, and an elongated pulling element. The elongated tool body has a handle end and a sealant piercing end opposite the handle end, and the pulling element carrier structure is located at the sealant piercing end of the elongated tool body. The pulling element carrier structure includes a recess and at least one piercing element having a configuration to pierce a sealant material as a sealant piercing force is applied to the elongated tool body. The elongated pulling element is connected to the elongated tool body at a location spaced apart from the sealant piercing end of the elongated tool body and has a pulling loop which is adapted to be movable between an insertion position and a pulling position relative to the recess of the pulling element carrier structure.
