Use vice-grips on the nut.  Generally there's not room for the 
vice-grips to turn a full circle, but if there is, a piece of line on 
the adjusting screw to some convenient anchor can stop it.  Works for 
tightening, too, as long as you set the vice-grips so the releasing 
handle isn't the part that comes up against something.
