I'm probably missing something elegant, however, I don't see the problem with

Cash 5 hearts
Cash the Queen of Spades
Ace of Diamond and a low diamond to the King

If all else fails, you always have the club hook

[EricK]

Play 5 rounds of ♥ discarding 2♠ and a ♣. then cash ♠Q, ♦A, ♦K and then ♠AK.

This will make 13 whenever the ♠J falls. If it doesn't fall, then you still have various squeeze chances, and if they don't materialise there is still the ♣ finesse.

For instance, here where West is solely guarding ♠ and East solely guarding ♦, they will both have to come down only 2 ♣ in the three card ending, so when you play the second round of ♣ from hand you will know that it will either pop up from West or drop from East.
