Question:

I have a HF 4 x 8 utility trailer with 5.3 x 12in wheels, Item # 62647. Can you tell me what size grease cap I need for the hubs? Thanks

I reviewed the online parts list for the Harbor Freight folding trailer 62647 but no specifics are provided for the grease caps required. This is not uncommon for bargain trailers, which often use unusual parts combinations.

You will want to measure the hubs' outer bore to determine the size of grease cap you need. This measurement needs to be very precise to ensure a good fit. You'll need a precision caliper like # PTW80157 to measure to the nearest thousandth, e.g. 1.234-inches. Then, using the linked page, just click on the dimension you need.
