Depending on how stuck your axles are, I suppose a hammer would be OK. I'm just kind of a stickler for using the right tool for the job. While hammers are a popular tool, they are rarely the right tool.

So I've also got my suspension down and put on HR springs. While out I see the inner boot on my 2002 Boxster S is ripped (48k miles). I don't have an air compressor and my Crafstman 7.5 amp gun won't crack the nut. Do I need a 3/4 electric gun to get it off?

No, what you need is a long cheater bar on the end of your breaker bar.

I used the handle from my jack. It's about four feet long and was more than long enough to break the nut loose.
