Yes, the SOB is a ***** to get off, especially in colder temps when the rubber is less pliable. I used to struggle to get it off but since discovering this trick, it's been easy every time.
Get a rope about 1/4" diameter or greater, a power cord from old appliances works great! Wrap it around the U, tie a knot so you have a loop to yank on. Give it a good tug and it comes right off!
This trick also works great on belts that's been fully un-tensioned but will not come off the pulleys.
