the problem is the adapter is on the camera and can't be removed
(because of the springy thing you have to push with your fingernails to
get it off) without unscrewing the lens first.
Did you try removing the lens from the adapter yet?
You don't mention that...and that should always be done first.
Remove the lens from the adapter, and then the adapter from the camera body.
If you did the sequence backwards, that's why you can't remove the adapter...

gauge to touch the "release" pin just outside the threads (to release
auto to manual) but it seems to be stuck, perhaps in one of the screw
holes on the adapter. anyway, any tips are appreciated.
