Technically, you are just breaking the stud taper- Pressing ball joints out is an entirely different tool.
Here is the factory video showing it in use. Granted, the video example is on a small Honda, but the tool just reaches to the top of the stud on a C4. You definitely need to make sure your hands are nowhere near the a-arm as it pops down a few inches fairly abruptly when the stud breaks free.
