In the below pic is how most of the people arranged the C press. (A picture from another member.)
You were speaking of a small sleeve. You can buy a C press with a larger selection of sleeves but I cannot recall my Harbor Freight press having a sleeve that fit the over the Lemforder ball joint itself properly.

I did not use the impact wrench as shown in the pic.

I used the C press but one it the things I did not like is the C Press threaded shaft has lots of clearance and wobbles some.

Also the Harbor Freight C Press cost has like doubled since I bought mine at around $27.
