Yes ,first thing I did

Be gentle! I broke the threaded adjuster a month ago and had to change the whole cable. Are you using two wrenches? Stupid question but you never know.

What are you looking for?

Socket, long breaker bar or slip something over the handle like a box end wrench and act the torsion bar... load/unload/load and eventually it loosens up. Direct force down, you pop the socket off the nut, round the nut... is how you make more trouble for yourself.

Liquid wrench spray a little, let it sit a little, loosen.

there's 2 different people with trouble here, make sure you use the right info. looks like one on the primary side and one on the cable.
