The adjustable cup requires an HCW-11... and those cups are always a bear to turn. The wrench has very little area to grip. You could try a bunch of washers and a spacer to hold the wrench flat against the cup with the spindle bolt.
When you say adjustable cup do you mean the cup on the non-drive side (left side)? I posted a picture of an HCW-11. Is that for this side?

Will the HCW-4 fit on the drive side exactly? You said something like this so Im a little confused.
