Replacement Bearing Kit for a Harbor Freight 90154 Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a Harbor Freight trailer, item number 90154. What hub assembly is compatible with this trailer? The bearings show 30205/P6, QYDB, and ZM stamped on them. I also need to know which grease seal is compatible as well. Thanks

Hey Kevin!

Your 30205 bearing number isn't a common bearing type, but that's pretty normal for a Harbor Freight trailer.

If you can measure the spindle on your axle at the specified locations in the attached photo I can see if we can get you setup with some replacement bearings and grease seals.

Let me know what you find and I'll be more than happy to help out!

Hey Kevin, were you able to get those spindle measurements for your Harbor Freight trailer? Once you have them, I can help find the right bearings and grease seals. Let me know what you find so we can get you set up.

@JonG Good evening. I do not have the measurements. However, I called your customer support and the recommendation was to go with this part number: AKIHUB-440-2-1K. It seems to be the correct part, but I have not used the trailer since replacing the hub. I had a little difficulty putting the cotter pin in after installing the castle nut as I think the replacement hub is slightly longer than the original. Thanks for your support!

@Kevin Happy to help out! I'd love to get your feedback as well once you've had an opportunity to use the trailer!

Answer 1

You have 12 inch rims, but extra 3/4 of an inch you measured is for the lip of the tire that does not count towards the overall diameter. The black fenders part #F008559 should work well for you, but to utilize your current mounting setup you would…

To determine if we have a wheel bearing that will be compatible, you will need to use a digital caliper and take some measurements of your existing spindles. If you reply with the B, C and D dimensions you find (as shown in the diagram I provided), I…

Answer 3

The only trailer component that determines the speed rating of the trailer is the tires. All you have to do is simply replace your current tires with one that is rated for highway use, like the Kenda Loadstar #AM3S120 that you referenced, and you are…

Hey Jeremy, so I tried to pull up pictures of your trailer to see if I could recognize the fenders and from what I found it looks the most like the part #HP69VR but you can email me back pictures and I'll see what would be the closest fit.

Answer 5

What you found is a DOT number and not a speed rating. I was able to figure out which tire you have and it's a Loadstar 4.80-12 that has a 65 mph speed rating. In this size we have a tire that can go 81 mph as part #TT48012C.

Answer 6

Yes, the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire #AM10140 referenced in your question will fit the same 12 inch wheel with a 4 inch width that your existing 4.80-12 size tires are mounted to. Just note that the ST145/R12 tire will be…

Answer 7

Yes, you can definitely use bias tires, like part #AM3S870 you looked at, on the highway. Bias tires weren't really designed for off-road use per se but they are better for it. Likewise radials are better for highway use than bias tires and…

Answer 8

For a trailer you have to use wheels specifically designed for trailer. Passenger vehicle wheels and tires are not rated for trailer so they should not be used. Best option we have would be the part #A225R645WM which is a 225/75-15 radial tire…

For your utility trailer, I recommend pulling one of the studs and measuring for fit. I've linked the picture measuring the Kodiak Wheel Bolt - 1/2" Diameter x 2" Long #K12WB2 for reference. You will need to use a digital caliper like…

We often hear of weak customer support and limited spare parts availability with "bargain" trailer manufacturers. I found an online copy of the owner's manual for the Harbor Freight Haulmaster utility trailer model 90154 but it includes…

Answer 12

Hey David, Unfortunately, Harbor Freight trailers do not use standard spindles and require a 30205 bearing with a specific 0.985" inner diameter. So, while we have bearings and hubs with similar dimensions to theirs, we do not have the exact…
