removing parentheses in endnotes in chicago style

Hello,
All of my endnotes look like this: (Wolf-Gould 2009). If I try to remove the parentheses, it deletes the whole end note. How can I make this static text so I can delete the parentheses?
  • Could you step back a bit and say more about what citation style you want in general in the document? In most cases it'd be preferable to adjust the citation style or use a different one rather than manually editing citations.

But I can't remove the parentheses without removing the entire end note.
