To remove the back bolts on the crankshaft of a 2001 Malibu with a 3100 engine, you'll need to access the rear of the engine, typically requiring the removal of the transmission or the engine itself, depending on your workspace. Use a socket and ratchet to unscrew the 8 bolts, ensuring you have the correct size and a universal joint if space is tight.
