The bolts that hold the calipers to the bracket of the Hydrastar kit part # HSE7K-T1 should be torqued to 45 ft lbs. The torque for the mounting brackets to the spindle bracket will be based on the axle brand's recommendation for that. Dexter axles normally have a torque requirement for that of between 25 and 50 ft lbs.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

From my research on the Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer uses 4.80-12 tires on a 12 inch wheel for the 1195 lb capacity trailer and a 5.30-12 for the 1720 lbs capacity trailer. It is a good idea to check your existing tires to see which size they…
