You could use a chisel and split the nut

Or use a small angle grinder with a cut-off wheel to split the nut without beating on it. I don't know your setup, if it makes a difference if you whack or not.

Be careful not to mushroom the cable end if you beat on it, ask me how I know.

On my cable, that nut is "captive" on a metal sleeve on the cable. If you cut it off, you will need a new cable. I found I have to hold the sleeve with vise grips while turning the nut or it will try to twist the whole cable.

Hope you get what I'm talking about...
