Now I just have to put it on. I got home and took off the 2" adapter but it didn't want to slide into my hitch. It was getting dark out so I decided it could wait til tomorrow. No need to mess anything up. I'm guessing I just didn't have it level or something. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't go in there.
Gunk or road grit although you had an adapter which probably limited any buildup inside. One trick I saw on youtube today was to slightly tilt it so that the bottom of the insert rests of the bottom of the hitch to get things initially aligned. Then slide it in level.
