    Use a small spring loaded clamp (whatever they're called) after you
 get the loop on the hitch pin. The type with rubber on the ends. This
 will protect the plate finish better than vise grips and IMHO, is easier
 to use.

Great tip Avery.  But, if you can't find one of those right away, just use a
clothespin.  If it is too wide and blunt, carve it down a bit and make it one
of your tools for this purpose.  Since it is made of soft wood, it won't
scratch or mar the plate finish.
