Default brake caliper interchangeability between civic and crx?

as the title states i am wondering if the front caliper for a civic will fit on my crx? cuz i broke the head off the siezed bleeder screw and now i can't bleed my brakes. i tried one of those damaged bolt remover (reverse drillbit type thing) but it broke off inside the bleeder screw and now i'm stuck (yeah rite hardened steel my ***... yea for lifetime warrenty)
anyone have any ideas? i have a civic caliper just wondering if it will work?

As long as they are DX/Si they will swap.

What trim cars did they come from? Toad was right, DX/Si should swap between them, no problem

dx or cx i believe. the guide pin at the top is loose inside the civic caliper and the caliper hits the bracket when i try to slide it over the pads ..... i checked out canadian tire (our main parts store up here in canada) and they dont even have any more front calipers left in their warehouse. **** i gotta go to napa now and spend $70 for a rebuilt one.
