Another option (if you're into brutality) is to spread the ears apart that are holding the threaded adjuster into the bracket, or cut the last thread off the hollow adjuster so the nut can be slid completely off. On my '72, there is no restriction to completely unscrewing the nut(s) off the front of the adjuster. Don't screw up the cable & adjuster 'cause you'll need it for whatever e-brake you replace it with, and they are expen$ive new.
