I've done the method of pulling through a tapered metal fitting to create a dimple to solder a 1/2" bushing on my keggle, the issue is that is came through crooked and I'm a bit concerned about pushing through the actual bushing now and having it crooked as well...can I just hammer it into a neutral position when I have it pulled through and apply lots of solder to seal it...or anyone have any suggestions?? I'm too far into it to go back now haha...thanks!

Yes, you could "tap" it with a hammer, to square it up. Use a block of wood so ya' don't dick it up.
Or knock it all the way through, and try again.

I have bayou classics so my walls are pretty thin... but i just thread in a fitting(like a valve) for leverage, then use a bit of force to position the fitting how i need. If you stretch the hole too much and the fitting is loose, just remove the fitting and tap the edge of the hole in whatever direction you need for it to be a tighter fit. Again, pretty easy with my pots...
