I need this info also.. i have an 04 at my disposal that i can tear apart.. things just 4 hrs away and would also like to kno what i need to harvest from it.. ; )
Hey guys, before i get started, i have a lead on a complete set of 04-05 EP3 Hubs for my own 2002. Now i know that
this can be done, but most of the time i see guys here with the type s swap. Now, just to clarify everything, i want to make sure i get everything i need. I need the hub assemblies, and front and rear rotors....Now, here's where i'm a
little lost....I have a link here that shows an exploded view of everything, do i only need number 7 in the picture?? what about 6, 20 and 19?? This is for the front.....For the rear, what do i need besides number 43?? If there is a DIY on this, that would be awesome...ANY other info would be great
Thanks guys

Unless you have access to a press you will need to take the whole front knuckle assembly with all the brake parts attached. Just undo the brake line, undo the axle nut, separate the ball joint from the front control arm and unbolt the two bolts holding the knuckle to the front strut. The know assembly should now pull off. I think the axles are the same as the 02-03, but it doesn't hurt to take those just to be safe if you can. For the rear just unbolt the strut from the lower control arm, unbolt the top control arm from the top of the knuckle, and the two bolts for the lower control arm where the knuckle attaches. Undo the brake line and e-brake cable and the assembly will be free. That should do it for the rear. I also replaced all my bushings when I swapped since half the work is done. Just follow the type-s swap instructions for your install. Also get the correct torque specs.

I dont mean to thread jack why couldn't somebody use the wheel bearing assembly from an 04-05 si and put it on a 02-03 si? Do the knuckles differ between the 5 lug and 4 lug?
I just checked the prices for doing this with all new parts and even with my discount working with Honda it would still be cheaper to buy these parts used. Looks like I need to start looking for an 04/05 locally that I can mollest.
Thats true, to bad the 05 i was looking at was already sold as a complete unit......But, i was just shopping around doing some homework, whats wrong with Napa?? If places like Napa and Advance Auto parts sell this stuff, which they do,
whats wrong with going with these guys?? you'll save a hell of a lot of cash in the long run.....you can buy the hubs from Napa and the bearings from the dealer.....what you guys think about going "aftermarket"??
i no mine is o5 but still will input have done many of these swaps
i did drilled slotted rotors f/r ss lines pp vlave calipers an booster the best up grade i have ever done
its not that hard to do what u are doing i can get a full conversion for 200 at the moment but that doesnt include any new parts
includes axles rotors pads calipers an knuckle assmebaly no pp valve or booster witch is also needed in my opinion
