1999 civic ex 4 door wheel stud
I watched a couple videos that show rotating the stud to the front and it pops out the back but my car there is no flare
do I have to remove this entire knuckle to replace the wheel stud?

I'm a 5th civic guy, but if you can't get the stud out with the knuckle on the car you'll need to pull the knuckle and remove the wheel hub. It's in you're best interest to "find the flare".

I don't think it is possible to remove or replace a complete wheel stud with the hub assembled into the bearing. Officially you have to take the knuckle off the car and press the hub out of the bearing.
You can get the old stud out by cutting the threaded end off (if it's not already broken). People have put new studs in with knuckle assembled by grinding away part of the large "head" end until it will fit.

Check for the entire knuckle on eBay. For example:

If you are going to use this method use a thread die to clean it up. Sizing will be on a OEM lug nut I believe 12 x1.5mm though.

Yeah I don't know why Honda decided not to put an indention in the knuckle like they did on other models and years. It's like they had a good idea and then only used it twice.

Just did mine. All or nothing.

Do you have a press for the bearing and hub or do you have them done at a shop?
What method do you use to separate the ball joints? I risk either damaging the ball joint bolt/boot or squeezing the grease out of the boot when using what I think is an appropriate tool:
I may completely revert to the ratchet trick method:

I prefer the ratchet trick. These knuckles are of a a junkyard Integra so I just hit the bottom of the ball joint with a hammer. I'm a little concerned about getting the upper ball joint and outer tie rod end out of the Civic knuckle without destroying them when the time comes to replace the knuckles.
I pressed the hubs and bearings out myself using loaner tools from Autozone. A machine shop pressed them back in for me.
The ball joints and wheel studs were really easy. I used the ball joint loner tool with the Honda adapter kit. Worked well to press the studs out as well. Putting the studs back in, I used a rotor and spare tire then just tightened the lug nuts to 80ftlbs.
If you look closely you can see some damage cause by the tool I used to press the hub and bearing out.
