I own a 3/4" impact and torque wrench. I HIGHLY suggest not guessing on the wheel nut as the TSB torque is right at yield for the axle and can start to stretch it. Even with a big 3/4 torque wrench you have to put some ass behind it.
As far as the impact, I only have a 20gal tank which means my gun can run for about five seconds. It doesn't matter though. It will take a fully staked nut off in less than three taps. It doesn't even notice it.
If you pull the hub out and it's badly scored I would replace it when you have time. The last time I did my right I had to replace it because it ate a new bearing after 20k miles. I'll be in Raleigh after lunch shopping if you want to meet somewhere for the wrench.
If you want to own the tools, harbor freight has a decent 3/4 TR and socket set. Shouldn't be more than $125.
