Question:

Related to this. https://www.etrailer.com/question-88722.html Do you know of an axel that could replace the one that came with harbor freight so the hub and bearings become common sized? I mean I’d love to have electric brakes as well or even tandems. As I drive a semi truck and haul 52’ trailers

In order to find a replacement axle for your Harbor Freight trailer you will need to take some measurements to determine the correct axle length. The most important measurement is the distance from hub face to hub face.

Additionally, you can measure the spring center distance. When replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and these measurements.

If you provide these measurements I will be able to check and see if we have an axle that will fit your trailer. The other information I mentioned would be helpful as well.

I have attached a picture specifically showing where the measurements need to be taken for your reference.
