I had to do this on my
Bigfoot 17 when I installed an electric jack. However, with a round metal rasp, I was able to enlarge the hole enough to get it to fit in less than a half hour. You'll 'probably' notice that the new jack has 3 slotted holes for the bolts, allowing for slight variations in sizes. It may look daunting but check how much you need to grind out and, if it's just a bit, get a tool and use some elbow grease. I tried a small grind wheel on an electric drill but found the round rasp much faster!
Don't give up and good luck.
