Unbolt all necessary bolts and screws until the intake plenum is able to be pulled off. Make sure all sensors are unplugged. Take the intake off and remove the old gasket. Install new gasket and reinstall intake.

You will have to remove the intake manifold. Scrape off all the old gasket and put the new gasket on. Put the intake manifold back on.

The first thing to do as always is disconnect your battery. Next drain your radiator. Then disassemble the upper half of the engine. Removing everything on top of the cylinder head. Then pull of the head, clean off the old gasket, install the new one, then bolt it back together.

Remove the air cleaner assembly and carburetor. Upper radiator hose,distributor should be removed. Place both gaskets on mating surface of the engine. Insert the manifold's bolt and tighten with wrench.

You will need to under the car of your Malibu. Once there you can locate it in the middle section under the car.
