I've never had any luck using those adjustable sink wrenches on ANYTHING. The jaws won't stay fixed in position long enough to get them on the nuts and the whole apparatus is so big and clumsy you can't get it in anywhere.
I made my own stuffing box wrenches out of 3/16 steel using nothing but an angle grinder and they've worked well for 20 years.
Alternatively, get a couple of monkey wrenches at a flea market. You can grind down the jaws if they're too big.
