I have a 2000 civic si, i need to replace a broken wheel stud on my front driver side and i was trying to save myself the hassle of bringing it to a shop just to press the wheel bearing out to remove that wheel stud. So my other option is just to buy a used knuckle, spindle assembly. My question is, are 99-00 civic SI knuckle assemblies the same as 96-00 civic EX coupes w/o abs(or maybe DX,LX,HX,etc.)? Would other civic knuckle assemblies fit my SI calipers, rotors and spline teeths, etc.?

ex is the same (abs or not isnt a factor)
for taht matter, integra is similar, but its also rumored to be taller (no one can ever 100% confirm w/ proof of measurements)

Thankz PDiggity, took me awhile to figure out if i could hammer the wheel stud out, some people said yes, some people said no. Until i tried it one day and found out it's a no. Not enough clearance in the back to hammer it out unless the hub/wheel bearing is pressed out.

probably easier to take it to a shop and replace the stud then to find a knuckle and hub to put in

...hard to find an honest person in this city that won't rip me off just to have something pressed. Plus there's a good chance that i have to replace the wheel bearing once it's been pressed out since most people recommend that anyway. Although i did find some used spindle knuckle(including the hub and wheel studs)on ebay. They just have it labeled as 96-98 EX spindle knuckle. I guess you can say that's my reason for starting this post.

hey, sorry to add a late question...but i saw up for sale is 97 civic 4 door LX spindle/knuckle. Are those the same as 99-00 EX/SI two door coupes? Anyone know?
