I know a number of guys have the little Harbor Freight trailers - what is the wheel stud size? I need to replace one and I'd like to have all the parts ready.

Thanks.

Best thing to do is to call the HF tech line at 1-800-444-3353 to see if you can get replacement wheel studs. Chances are it's metric. If there is a trailer sales place close by, pull the entire hub off the axle and take it with you to see if they can match one up. Good time to clean, inspect, and re-pack the bearings and replace the grease seals at the same time.

You didn't say if the trailer you have uses a 5-bolt pattern (12" wheels) or 4-bolt (8" wheels) but I would expect that the studs will be the same.

I have a small Tractor Supply trailer that is probably almost identical to yours.

I just went out and looked at mine. It has Dexter hubs, model# 8-259. They're 5 bolt hubs, but I think the 4 bolt hubs will probably use the same lugs. You can look on the back of your hubs to see who makes them, but I bet it's Dexter - Google "Dexter 8-259" (or what ever model you have).

My lugs are 1/2-20 (1/2" diameter lugs with a 20 threads per inch pitch). Mine are 2-1/4 overall length from the base of the head to the tip.

You can get replacements for them at most any auto parts store - probably less than 2 bucks per.

Good luck!!

In case anyone else is wondering or wants to pick up spare studs/lugs - M12 x 1.25, not sure of the length.
