2013 Malibu Steering Gear Replacement : Part 1 The Removal
This adventure is removing the steering gear from my 2013 Malibu. This took about 2.5 hours to complete. I thought I had a damaged steering gear. Spoiler Alert...I didn't.
This removal should be the same for any 2013-2016 Malibu

How to you change the canister vent valve solenoid?
Same as everybody else said. You're out here doing Gods work bro. It literally took me 12 minutes to change out, and that's including a once over. I appreciate the guidance 🙏🏼. Oh, and because you gave a part number, I was able to order online and took the part I originally bought from O'Reilly's back. The aftermarket from them was $70, and the oem Bosch was $33. Very thorough video man
How would you clean the sensor?
WTH ? How about showing how to get to it ????😂
I dont know if you will see this comment but i have the same issue on my 2015 chevy impala and i cant find anywhere that has the 12690512 part but i found places that have the 12737252 part that says it replaces it. Im just wondering if it will work the same? Thanks in advance if u see this.
12737252 is the current replacement for 12690512. You should be all set with that. www.gmpartsdirect.com/search?search_str=12690512
Yea think I will just pay the dealership the $575 to replace it for me lol but thanks for the video.
Thank you for the informational video! I will be doing mine tonight. You definitely saved me some money. 😊
I have a 2014 impala. After getting the code and buying the part, I watched your video (first one too) definitely helped me out!!! I’ve been having the same issue. I was scared getting gas every time lol I got the part from oreilly for $71.27 part# cp612
thanks for the help sir, you just saved me over $400 .. may God bless you
Super helpful thank you for the video and that little bit you talked about at the end. There is exactly what was happening with my car so this was very informative and helpful.
This is soo easy I can’t wait to do this to my impala gotta be more hands on anymore videos with the impala?❤
dealership got me for 460 doll hairs lol , doing myself this time
Man you are a life and money saver! Got it done, only hard part getting that damn air thingy back on lol but other than that spot on! Had to disconnect the battery two times to get check engine light off but pretty awesome step by steps! Good looking out my guy 👊🏾💯
Very helpful thank you
Ever do the idle air control valve,,or speed sensor
@@eugenew6717 luckily, not yet.
Iv got a 06 Silverado long bed single cab and iv got the code and im looking for the evap solenoid and I can’t fine it. Is it at the front or rear and is it above the gas tank or beside it
@craigriffle2803 the vent valve solenoid is right next to the fuel tank.
I had the 442 code and replaced that valve on my 2015 impala. It fixed the problem. Pretty easy fix, as newer cars go, and it wasn't real expensive.
Regardless of torque specs, use some blue locktight on those hub bolts. I have a 2015 impala LT. Love the car. It has 75,000 miles, and as time goes by, I'm sure I will be dealing with this. I know all the tricks for getting the hub off, thanks to RUclips videos. I just put brakes on all around, so I'm familiar with the car now. On a different note, the only thing I don't like is the front suspension. It's a bit harsh, and it has always had a annoying clunking on bumpy roads. If I ever find someone who knows what causes that, I will fix it.
Very helpful, same car, same issue. Fixed it myself after watching video.
Glad that it helped you out.
I changed my Sensor, but now my temperature is showing on plus side like every time it is showing 60 degrees. before it was on negative side.
Thanks for video, my 13 yr old son is finally taking an interest in cars and asked if he could help. He was able to change it out with minimal help from me in about 15 minutes start to finish.
I love hearing that! Have a great day.
Bro are you fuckin serious, i dealt with not having ac since i got my car, my temp been reading -40 degrees this entire time, its been 4 years WTF. Never did it occur to me that it would affect my AC, the temp would fix itself every now and then, but not forever, maybe just for a couple mins
This happened to me on a 2016 sonata switched it and drove but still hasnt changed temp, any suggestions?
Always wondered where that was on my 2015 impala LT. Now I know, if it should every malfunction. I didn't consider that it would affect the a/c as well. Good information
The purge valve isn't supposed too move around right
Have that code, but don't have that Pro scanner....
Having same problem and it makes the rpm get stuck above the 2 until it says transmission overheating... does the canister fix all that?
Haha it’s a miracle just realized it’s -40 in my car today
I purchased AC Delco Part 12690512 and installed it. However, the original part that came off the car was 12610560. The parts look alike. I hope they are actually supposed to be interchangeable. I will wait to see if the "permanent code" PO496 actually clears after driving for awhile. About a week later, after a few short trips the "permanent" "Check Engine Light" went out. I guess the problem is solved. My thanks to you for the great video!!!! About a week after my "check engine" light went out a warning came up on my dash that the fuel filler cap should be tightened but when I checked the cap was as tight as it can be. I wonder if this happened because the part that I used was slightly different from the original part - although it looked the same. After about 2 months of use I can say this part works perfectly and fixed the problem. The gas cap warning never happened again.
Great video, your camera angles are a lot better than the other videos I watched and you get right into the job while explaining it well. Thanks.
Your video was straight to the point, you gave a part number and you didn’t give any excessive explanation about anything. You helped me save money by doing this at home instead of taking it in. Thank you, man!
Very happy to hear of your success in doing it yourself.
Firestone just told me $298 to fix this issue. Ha....headed to auto zone in a few minutes. Ty for the vid and your service
Explanation?
Im a general contractor and I just installed a 10ap in a detached garage I built for a client. The instructions sucked! Haha but we made it through it!
i appreciate you bro i needed a walkthrough before i did it🫡
Thanks a lot bro. This helped tremendously!
Happy to have helped you out.
Ima try this but mines read decent temperature just my a/c going in out and i tested everything else but this 🤞🏾
What tool is that?
It's an Autel MaxiCOM MK808BT PRO Scanner:
Good video. Would be nice to show how to manually close the vent solenoid
Thank you Mr.Thomas Lavery for your very helpful video!!!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback
I broke the 10mm bolt in the bracket part how can I fix
That bolt is not a 9mm....its a 10mm
Awesome video, so much faster than pulling the bumper cover, the tip at the end saved some swear jar money as well!
Damn I wish I saw this video first. I just broke the damn plastic piece off the hose
Mine was a 10mm socket on my 2015 Impala. Otherwise perfect instructions, problem solved.
Awesome video. Perfect
Wow' you saved me time and costs, Chevrolet wanted to charge a large amount to replace this $59 part. Thanks
Thank you for the excellent video. I replaced the valve per the instructions and the car started right up at the gas station whereas before it would struggle to start after filling up with gas. However now the car is idling very rough. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you ever figure it out? Having same issue
@@DoubleDeeOGee disconnect it reset the codes then restart
Thanks my friend has the outer plastic cracked on 2016 Malibu and just wanted to replace it instead of replacing the whole headlight but the price is about the same
Glad I looked this up and found your video dealer just quoted my girl 400$ to replace this thing time to bust out my tools 🫡
Perfect video. From setup to replace to cleanup, I was able to get this done in 30 minutes. Thank you!
