The 3/8" hose will limit the airflow somewhat and the wrench won't develop the rated torque.........not much you can do about that.

I might heat the studs if the ends are exposed. They'll lengthen slightly and the clamping force from the nuts will drop dramatically.
These days I always carry a blowtorch in my car. Might need it for quick plumbing duty and heat has worked very well for me on stuck nuts.
