How to replace the starter motor on Chevrolet Malibu?

Start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable then supporting the raised vehicle throughout the process. The operation requires removal of the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the generator control module coolant pump while also undoing the generator control module coolant pump bolt. Secure the generator control module coolant pump including its hoses to a safe position after extracting it from underneath the Oil Pan. Disconnect both engine wiring harness electrical connector from the Starter and use an open-end wrench to remove the positive Battery Cable to Starter motor nut and the positive Battery Cable lead from the Starter motor. Starting with bolt removal from the Starter motor then remove the Starter itself. Begin by installing the Starter with its bolts then secure them using 53 n.m (39 lb ft) torque. Secure the positive Battery Cable lead onto the Starter motor before tightening the positive Battery Cable to Starter motor nut to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Secure the generator control module coolant pump while disconnected from the electrical connector of the engine harness so you can reposition it toward the Oil Pan where its anti-rotation tab fits into the Oil Pan hole. Installation requires applying 22 n.m (16 lb ft) of torque to the generator control module coolant pump bolt followed by connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the generator control module coolant pump. After lowering the vehicle complete the procedure by connecting the negative Battery Cable.
