I have a bad wheel bearing and am going to just replace my whole hub assembly (to avoid with all the bearing pressing garbage)

My junkyard has the hub, but only for the 1996 civic ABS...so...will it fit on my 1999 civic NON ABS (I know 96-00 will fit)

1)*Will it fit, and I just don't use the ABS sensor?!

2)*Will I have to modify it. (cut pieces off)?!

3)*Will It not fit at all?!

4)* is this a good idea?! ( I can get it for $70) and not having to worry about bearing pressing ( I cannot press myself/don't know where a place that can is so feel this us my best option)

Thanks a million!!!

 

As far as i know it will fit w/o any modifications. My 97 accord has abs half shafts and it's a non abs vehicle

You should be fine. As for the part, good luck.
Buying a bearing off a car that has been sitting for a while is hit or miss. On the plus side you have a additional hub, but the bearing could be junk. Which is the whole purpose for you doing this in the first place.

I'd just spend 60 odd dollars for a good bearing, and have it pressed in and be done with it.

 

yeah a junkyard hub and bearing is pretty sketchy
