What I've done in the past for the axle nut, was to use one of the tire filling tanks as a portable air pressure source. They can take the same pressure as a compressor (~150 psi), hold enough air to impact wrench the axle nuts off, and don't weigh/aren't as bulky as even a "portable" compressor to lug around the junkyard. It also is handy for filling up your tires at the track/autocross/drift event. Using one of the coil hoses works best.

Another thing is, I have swapped to Z32 rear uprights and coilovers (fork style), so I can't really get to the bottom rear 19mm bolts on each side without taking the shock off. Just FYI.
that is a good idea, im gnan do that next time i have to take stuff of at junkyards. :hammer:
