The best way to bleed a hydraulic braking system is to use a pressure bleeder to pressurise from the master cylinder and start at the caliper/cylinder furthest away from the master cylinder ie the one further away with the longest pipework and go around the car in order of pipework length. you can use the old fashioned way by getting someone to press the brake pedal and pump it out whilst you use a bleed tube and bottle but you may run risk of damaging the master cyl if its worn. so you can work out the sequence by looking at the hydraulic layout.hope this helps

SOURCE: Change headlight on 2008 Chevy Malibu

Hi there,

Well first you can please follow the below steps -
1. Make sure the ignition key is in the off position and the headlight switch is off. Release the hood latch.
2. Open the hood and locate the top of the headlight assembly where you intend to change the headlight. If a plastic shroud is present, locate the center bolt and remove it with a ratchet and a socket. Lift the shroud out of the way to access the headlight assembly retaining brackets. Some later models may feature a snap-release shroud requiring no tools to remove.
3. Locate the brackets on the top rear of each side of the headlight assembly. Lift them all the way up to align the hole on the bottom of each bracket to the retaining tabs on the assembly.
4. Pull the assembly forward away from the Malibu, but be careful not to scratch the bumper. There are three guide pins that require unseating. The guide pins are what aim the headlights and it may take some wiggling to get the pins from their seats.
5. Support the assembly with one hand and then reach behind the unit with the other. The low beam bulb is on the outside, the high beam bulb is on the inside. You can also replace the parking light if desired. Locate the wire harness connection. Un-clip the wire harness from the back of the bulb socket. Remove the bulb by turning it counterclockwise 1/3 of a turn to align the release tabs of the ring and the assembly. Wiggle the bulb out of the assembly.
6. Place the latex gloves on your hands before opening the package of the replacement bulb. Oil in our skin can damage the glass bulbs of halogen headlights.
7. Carefully insert the new bulb into the ring and then align the tabs of the ring to the tabs of the headlight assembly. Push inward and then twist clockwise 1/3 of a turn to lock the bulb in place. Reattach the wire harness. Rest the headlight assembly inside its cavity and test the operation of the headlight before securing the headlight assembly in place. Be sure to turn the lights and ignition back off.
8. Align the three guide pins to their seats and push the assembly back into them gently until they snap into place. Replace the retaining brackets by pushing them downward to lock into place. Replace shroud, if applicable. Remove the tools and old bulb and close the hood. Post comments for further help or information......

Good Luck!!

SOURCE: What are the step by step instructions to change

Find the oil drain plug, remove, drain the oil into a pan, reinstall the drain plug a tighten, locate the oil filter and remove, check mounting surface to make sure the old gasket didn't stick. Coat the new filter gasket with oil and install hand tight. Refill the oil, make sure that you do not overfill. Start enigne for about a minute, shut off and double check the level, and that the filter and drain plug do not leak.
Some engines can be difficult, to identify the location of the drain plug and filter. There are thousands of configurations out there, If you are not familiar or can not locate the plug and filter, take the vehicle to a shop for service.

SOURCE: my brakes go to the floor and i need to know the

always start with the back passenger wheel, then back drivers wheel, then front passenger, last front drivers wheel, there should be a bleeder valve on each caliper, probably a 3/8 or 5/16 open end wrench, have someone pump the brakes up tight and hold it, turn the bleeder valve open until the pedal goes to the floor and retighten before they let the pedal go or it will **** air back in, continue doing this until you get a stream of fluid, no bubbles should be in the fluid, dont forget to keep adding a little bit of brake fluid every so often during bleeding

Testimonial: "thank you"

Having trouble bleeding brakes on 2008 impala ltz

After you have manually bled the system, turn the ignition on & put the ABS module in automatic bleed mode with a scan tool. Then, just hold the pedal down. The ABS will cause the pedal to go up & down several times & will stop when bleeding is complete.

Where is the cap to recharge the ac for my 2008 chevy Malibu LTZ 6 cylinder

First pop the engine cover off. You are looking for a small cap with an "L" on it. This stands for Low Pressure. Most of the time they are blue. Avoid the "H" (High Pressure). The lines are typically silver in color.
