3 17mm nuts thanks vtecE_rex for helping, ill explain in detail, take the wheel off, and take the cotter pin out of middle of 17mm castle nut on bottom of hub(below and inside of brake disc) then undo the castle nut but leave it on a lil bit, then i hammer right below the boot and above where the castle nut is, point will stick out approx 2 cm tall and 4cm wide rectangular, watch for hub to pop out of the socket, then take a 32mm and take axle nut off, then up top of hub arm is a 2 10mm bolts, unsrew them and remove lil casing, and should be a another castle nut with cotter pin in it, remove it (found easier to do with hi speed impact gun, and then follow hub arms to where it connects to the steering rod end and pull that cotter pin out and take nut off (can't remember what size 17mm or 14mm, then the brake caliper is held on by 2 bolts, i think 17mm, located on backside of caliber connecting it to hub, tdon't strecth the brake line by letting the caliper hang, then just pound the axle outta the hub if it doesn't come out easily, alright that took forever to write good luck with swap, and btw u can find those hubs u want in about any junkyard, i would find some form a 89-91 ef civic some dx's had them and i think all si's did you welcome and good luck

If you got the harness with your ls motor. you cant use it. you need to modify the dpfi harness thats in your civic stnd. changing hubs is pretty straight forward. good directions EFN JP! good luck on your swap. your also gonna need:

modified shift linkage
motor mounts
make the decision between obd0 and obd1

im sure theres more.
