Thanks so much for doing the seal and bearing research. you cannot get these at the local parts store since most of the catalogs they use are in inches instead of mm.

On my Grease seal the number printed on it is 30 52 10. I have the 4×8 folding HF trailer. You say your grease seal is 30×52x7. Do you think they changed the size?

James, Thanks for the tips. I have the same trailer. Very happy with it but now I have my first issue. I have an inner bearing failure on one wheel. Is HF PN 93834 for both inner & outer? I believe it is just outer. What is “5. Bearing Oil Seal”? I’m thinking this may be the inner bearing since the parts diagram for the trailer lists part #30 as “seal”. If so, does the “seal” include the bearing because I have no inner bearing as it was torn to shreds on my last trip. Thanks for your Time. Drew.

Greatly enjoyed your improvement suggestions for your HF trailer. Just sold my old pickup truck with an eight foot bed, so I need something to replace it for the occasional hauling job. The 1720 lb capacity HF trailer is on sale for $340 - minus 20% coupons floating around, putting the pre-tax and registration cost at $272 - tough to resist. My use for it is very varied: from hauling a 14″ kayak (don’t care to heft it on top of my new Nissan Murano) to the usual home/lawn maintenance stuff from Lowes/Home Depot. I have a friend who has an auto shop, so I hope to weld the trailer instead of using bolts to hold it together.
