Best Answer

After you remove the wheel, you will need to remove the caliper, and caliper support bracket. Then remove the rotor. The wheel bearing is held on by three bolts on the back side of the steering knuckle. Remove those. Then take a punch or chisel and tap in the center of the axle to remove the bearing. Don't be afraid to pound on it. Then unplug the ABS sensor and remove. Reverse for Installation. Torque for the axle shaft bearing is 180 ft. lbs. Do not reuse old axle shaft nut, they will give you a new one with your bearing. Do not under or overtighten.

Are the wheel bearings on a Chevrolet Malibu pressed?

There are many dissimilar vehicles vehicles out there called Chevrolet Malibu, and front/rear wheel bearings can be different. Is your Malibu FWD or RWD? If fwd: no. The wheel bearings are ball-in-cage type bearings that are an integral part of the hub-and-bearing assembly which must be replaced as a unit. If rwd: maybe. The front wheel bearings are taper bearings held in place by a nut with cotter pin. The rear rear wheel bearings (axle bearings) are in fact pressed into the axle tube.
