How do you get off a sway bar if it's got no bolts? it's welded on a demo car.

Are you sure it is the sway bar you are looking at? Sway bars are bent to start with to do their jobs so the left end will be a mirror to the right end. So by 'bent' I'm assuming you mean one side isn't a mirror to the other. Most sway bars are mounted with 6 bolts. 1 bolt at each end at each hub and two on each U clamp holding the sway bar bushes in place. Sway bars need to flex and bend to do their job so they shouldn't be welded in place. Could you comment below with photos of the part your looking at and where it is on the vehicle? On some vehicles you'll need to lower the front sub frame to get the actual sway bar out so it's often a job you can't really do on you drive. Comment below with more information and I'll try to help you more.

2003 malibu alarm won't stop

Well when you replaced the battery did anything else on the key fob work? Often times you have to reprogram the remote in order for it to function properly. Try getting inside the vehicle and manually lock all doors with the driver's side switch. Put the master key in the ignition switch and turn the switch to the run position but do not start it. Now push and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time until the locks make noise....may take 10 to 30 seconds. After you have the key fob programmed, see if the alarm will turn off with the remote. Did it work? The only way to totally turn off the alarm is with a GM Tech @ or 3 scan tool and go into body control bidirectional controlling procedures or with a very good aftermarket scanner with good bi-directional functionality. The alarm works via the body control module on this vehicle and i am thinking it uses the PK2 system and if you do not have a properly coded key or the BCM is loosing memory, then check for any and every blown fuse and replace as needed.to start with.. If the vehicle stays running after starting then the bcm/key is reading correctly.

My 2003 chevy malibu's

First you need to find out what the problem is. Find yourself a major parts dealer in the area you live like AutoZone or something similar. Ask them to but their diagnostics tool on your car and tell you the engine failure codes that it reads. They will do it for free. Come back on Fixya.com and write down all the engine codes they told you that you had. Sometimes they can only tell you the code number. Others on Fixya.com will look it up and let you know what needs to be done. It may be something simple or it could be complex. Hard to say right now. I hope this helps you.

2003 Malibu repeated Air conditioner failure

None of the repairs work , If the system is not entirely flushed out, dryers, expansion valves and the like are replaced. If the original problem involved compressor failure, tiny bits of medal and debris may be still circulating in the system and casing other components in that system to fail. Someone does not know what they are doing.
