It's 37 lb-ft (50 N·m) for both front and rear. Don't reuse copper gaskets.

Hmm, I'm not sure where you got that but the 2004 Classic was basically a 2003 Malibu with L61 Ecotec for the fleet operators. The banjo bolt torque that I posted is for the front caliper and rear wheel cylinder both (front disc, rear drum setup).
