shared neutral integrity question
I have a few boxes where a shared neutral is looped thru unspliced. I have to take the boxes apart to put on a larger boxes....
Is it a bad idea to make splices on the shared neutral and should I be pulling wire thru the new boxes instead?

thanks.
Is it usually standard though that there would be no splice between the buss bar and the point where the neutral is split into a 2 wire circuit?
Then again you could have devices installed between the bus and the split too? As in the rule for pigtailing?

The box may have just been a pull point and there was no need to splice.

(If the neutral is just passing through the box, then the accompanying hot(s) can also do nothing but pass through.)
No problem splicing what was once a pass-through conductor provided you have enough slack.
