Mine's no worse than removing my hitch or my hook. It may fit just a bit tighter than the hitch.

Even with JAMAS adding the extra donut, he shouldn't have much trouble in a week or 2. The extra donut will go through some plastic deformation over time and he shouldn't have to use the strap any more.

Mine fit snug enough without the extra donut so I didn't use it. I don't think that Sue used hers either.
