If it's a British drive side, i.e. with a left hand thread, the 'special tool' needed is a nut and bolt to fit through, the appropriate socket and extension plus breaker bar.
A bit of propane / butane heat plus some thin penetrant is also a bonus.
'More ghetto' is MIG welding on a nice long length of steel bar to the cup. The Massive heat and subsequent high torque achieved has it in the bag.
Love these jobs.
