Also, I would recommend cleaning and repacking the bearings with GOOD grease before even using the trailer. Harbor Freight trailers generally come with wheel bearing grease that looks like thin Vaseline and doesn't hold up well. It's cheap insurance.
+100!
Many many reviews even on the Harbor Freight website users say to repack the bearing!
Some of the Goldwing guys that use this trailer said that it is really not grease but just some lube to keep the bearings from rusting while on the shelf. I do not know if that is true or not but with smaller 8" tires the wheel RPM is a lot higher so repacking with a high speed grease is a must!
