Default stock a arm install ?

i just swapped out to an after market k-member, the actual install was alot easier than i thought. my problem though is getting the stock a arms to slide in smoothly. my struts are still assembled and on the car. my arm is started in the kmember but i cant get it to slide in far enough to drop the bolt on the angled leg. i dont want to grease it becaus i dont want it loosen up later. i tried the bfh but i cant get a square hit on the angled bushing. any tips?

i got it done. some selective pry points and all is good. the hardest part is trying not to scratch the paint on the new kmember. hell, i can see why if you can raise the car enough it would be easy to take the motor out the bottom.
