How and where do you inject grease into the front calipers of a 2000 Malibu?
Calipers do not have a grease fitting. The only fitting is a bleed value and this is for brake fluid to come out of when you bleed the brakes. I bet you are trying to lube the caliper pins. Simply remove the pins holding the caliper on and use the appropate brake lube. You can pick up the correct lube at you local parts store

How do you replace front brake pads in 2001 Subaru Outback?
ALWAYS replace the brake pads of BOTH front wheels! First, remove the tire. Use a socket and ratchet to remove the two bolts that secure the brake caliper then lift the caliper off the rotor. Gently set aside the caliper assembly; it is ok for it to hang from the brake line for a short time but does not tolerate hard knocks and rough handling. The old pads simply lift out of the brake pad clips. Install the new pads after lubricating all points of contact with brake pad lube. It is available at auto supply stores and usually the clerk includes small packets with the pads. The lube packet usually indicates where to place the lube. DO NOT put any lubricant on the surface of thethe brake pad that contacts the rotor! Put the lube on the brake clips, etc, not the pad. Using a large C -clamp (or something similar) and a short piece of wood (1x4 works well) to span the brake caliper pistons, fully retract the pistons by gently tightening the C-clamp. The new pads are thicker and the caliper will not fit over the pad/rotor assembly unless the pistons have been pushed back in. Reset the caliper in position and replace the two caliper bolts. Replace the tire. Repeat steps for other front wheel. Pump the brakes a few times to extend the caliper pistons. Don't be surprised if the pedal goes to the floor the first few pumps. Be sure to follow the instructions in the owner's manual for breaking in new brake pads.
