I would suggest bringing it to get it done. I've done about three DC Integra hubs and an 01 Civic hub. In all four instances I bent up the dust shields. On the Integra hubs there is a snap ring on the inside of the hub. I believe the 98 Civic is the same way. The only way to get the stud out is to cut it short enough to side out, or press the bearing out. If you want to put a new stud in you have to press the bearing out. In any case if you could get it done for $45, DO IT!
