You can slightly round the metal lip on a grinder and press them in using a plate. It's pretty easy to see once they get started if they're going to go in straight or if they've slipped and are crooked.
And speaking from the experience of doing the bushings on my rear control arms, if they're going in even slightly crooked - STOP - they will not straighten out. I have a mashed bushing as proof.

I don't remember exactly how i did it without looking at the install instructions. I do recall that the angle could not be measured on the truck, the axle is in the way. As a reference point we used the floor and measured from the floor up to the control arms. Then I drew a line on the work bench and made the measurements from that line with the control arms on the bench.
