after u take off the rotor assembly and are just left with the hub u can try to gently "or maybe a lil aggressively" bang it off from the rearside... or just do like i did, take a 1/4" grinding pad and a grinder an just knotch a V sideways into the rear of the hub and just bang ur studs out from the front with a hammer, an than hammer ur new ones in from the back..

Re: Removing 98 Civic EX wheel hub?
the only problem is that i dont have the room to bang the old ones out or the new ones in...also i have tried to bang it a little agressively and it wont budge...or maybe when my little aggressive hits were just love taps to that hub...im afraid of bending it or making it off balance

I paid $100 for two front bearings, took off the hubs myself and had the old ones pressed out and the new ones in for $30 at a machine shop in town.

Thats pretty cheap for bearings. As long as they are good quality then I would say you're good to go. I wouldn't cheap out and use crappy bearings in this case however, so be carefull.
