As Harbor Freight constantly uses different parts on their trailers you will need to disassemble one of the hubs to check the bearings and seals. I have included an image below which identifies the location for the bearing and grease seal numbers as well as the measurement points on the spindle. You can use a Digital Caliper # PTW80157 to get accurate measurements for the spindle. Once you have either the measurements or bearing and spindle numbers please let me know and I can let you know which hub you can use.
