Mike,
Just as there are ENGINEERS and engineers there are MECHANICS and mechanics! ;-)

Ray,
Q: Can you tow it on the flat?
A: I bought it thinking that I could. But being the "top of the line" LTZ model, with a bigger engine than most, it has a different
transmission than other Malibu's. (It is a 6 speed auto that was devloped with Ford.) I THINK it is still good for flat towing,
but I also found out it is heaver than I expected, so the motivation to set it up to flat tow is less. I slected this exact
year/model as it has adjustable petals. (Wife is rather small... 4'7".) I have several rigs that are better for flat towing, so I
doubt I'll ever install a base plate on the "Boo."
Q: Did you remove the front wheels when you did the light bulb?
A: no, I just turned the wheels to one side. I also used a 2x4 block to hold the inner fender out of the way. I took pictures and
really should put a write-up on my projects blog. (Lately that has been mostly SideKick stuff but some GMC.)
I suspect the bulbs were the ones from the factory, and they are used for the day time driving lights, so they do have quite a good
life span. I installed the highest quality (long life not high light output) bulbs I could find. I might not have to ever do the
job again as they lasted 6 years.
I am sure the design was a compromise between the "look" and the requirement for replacement.
I also work with a high number of engineers. All I can say is: "The are engineers and there are Engineers."
Mike
