Harbor Freight trailer(90154) and wheel bearings

[Andy Taylor]

I've read that the wheel bearings need to be re-packed during assembly. Is that true? Can it be done without damaging the seal? I'm thinking of buying this trailer to modify to haul kayaks.

Does anyone know what size Bearing Buddies fit this trailer?

Thanks.

I would repack the bearings. I would do that on any trailer you just acquired. It is cheap insurance. The wheel seal will not be hurt sliding it off the spindle if you are careful and don't drag it across the spindle threads or something like that. I do not know on the Bearing Buddies. Sorry.

In order to get the rear bearing out of the hub you will most likely destroy the rear seal. They are cheap so don't worry about it.
Most likely it uses the 1.98". The way to tell is find out what race it uses.

Thanks all. I wound up buying a trailer from Farm and Fleet instead.
