He most likely just cut the cable, LOL! You could do that since you have an atx and don't really need it, or if you play around with the adjuster on the back of the drum it may release.

Yea on the back there is an ajuster through an oval like hole, I had a similar prob this summer. I just used a flat head screwdriver to turn a star like nut inside behind my rotor. It was a slow process but worked.
