Back off the nut about 80% but keep it attached to the nut. Tap down on the nut lightly then lightly pry the clamp apart with a flat head screwdriver. Rock the clamp back and forth and it should come off.

Its made from lead, so should separate quite easy.. If need be, hold onto the clamp/cable with a pair of multi grips for added stability whilst separating the clamp.. |
