Question:

Is this hub a direct replacement for the Harbor Freight Hub, bearing, etc.

It is not likely that any of the hubs we carry will fit the Harbor Freight trailer. Those trailers use non-standard hubs and bearings that you would have to get by going through the manufacturer. But you can pull a hub off and check the bearings for their numbers stamped into the sides of them. With the bearing numbers I might be able to determine if we have a replacement that is a direct fit.

Hub # AKIHUB-440-2-1K uses bearing L44643 for the inner and outer bearing. This bearing has an inner diameter of 1.000 inches. Bearing measurements are taken using dial or digital calipers to the 1000th of an inch.

If you cannot find the numbers on the bearings you will need to measure them using dial or digital calipers for accuracy. I have included a picture that shows where bearing numbers are and where you would measure them.
