the cable goes through the adjuster and is then clamped into the other caliper arm. undo the 8mm nut to release the clamp
if the cable's outer sleeve is stuck in the adjuster, give it a good yank. if the clamp is wedged holding the cable in place, press it back through using some pliers, or even a few taps with a hammer
