Hard to remove front wheel

Brake release is very hard to seperate the cable from the caliper
.....Gotta be operator error...
What's the trick ?
(Brake cable adjustment is all the way in.)

Further loosen the cable at the anchor bolt then wind out the adjuster for god lever travel when riding. Wind in the adjuster before releasing the noodle. Andy
