How to replace the front disc brake pads on Chevrolet Malibu?

Before starting the disc Brake Pad replacement work test your brake master cylinder brake fluid level. If fluid is above the mark between the highest and lowest permitted limits drain enough fluid to reach the midpoint. Lift up the vehicle to gain access while you take out the tire and wheel as a unit. Secure two nuts by hand to wheel studs across opposite ends of the rotor to keep it fixed to the hub. Set aside the brake caliper guide pin bolt then secure the brake caliper safely with mechanic wire to prevent hydraulic hose damage. Lift the caliper up without detaching the hose and position it into place. Insert the old inner disc Brake Pad and disc brake piston tool into the caliper bore to push the piston back into the caliper before removing both brake pads from the mounting bracket. Suck off Brake Pad retainers from the caliper bracket and scrape all debris off both parts before cleaning. Check guide pin movement and examine guide pin boots for problems. Replace boots when necessary. Install the Brake Pad retainers onto the caliper bracket but ensure that you position the brake pads correctly as you mount them first. Keep the sensor-equipped disc Brake Pad inside the rotor facing toward the rotor. Position the brake caliper onto the pads and mounting bracket after installing the pads directly onto the caliper bracket and removing the support. Connect the lower brake caliper guide pin bolt and tighten it to 35 n.m (26 lb ft). Reposition the brake rotor by removing its wheel nuts from the hub before installing a new tire and wheel set. Lower the vehicle afterward. Shift the engine centerline to off position while gently pushing the brake pedal until you reach two-thirds of its ability then return it to its original position. Hold the brake pedal down for a short time and pump it back to secure the brake caliper against the pads. Finish by putting brake fluid into the auxiliary reservoir before ending the process with pad and rotor burns.
