Which way does the fixed cup come off CW or CCW.
The HCW-4 is made just for the type of fixed cup you show and the "oval" opening is the end you place over the cup. BTW, 36 mm = 1.42" or about 1-27/64"

Assuming your bike uses an English bottom bracket (1.37x24tpi should be engraved on the adjustable cup) the fixed cup is left-hand threaded and unthreads clockwise.
