I have tried so hard to get my 91 S10's dash out. I removed all visible bolts and took apart more than what i knew i had to. My heater core is broken and i have to get to it by removing the dash so i can replace it and save some money on labor parts, if anyone can help me out that would be awsome. or even know a book or someplace with good directions on how to. thanks

in the defrost vents??

Heater cores are a pain in the ass. I had to do mine a few months ago. The hard part is putting the dash back together. Replacing the heater core only took me 10 min, but like an hour and a half just to put the damn dash back together.

well when i finally got down to it it was easy, but i ended up just replacing the heater hoses to the engine and the radiator and then after that it was just a quest to find out which bolt goes where and i have a little cup of bolts as leftovers and a scar from pinching myself, damn what a weekend (but now i have heat!!)

yeah i just did mine today after the stop leak "stop"ped working...haha...anywho...on my 85...in case some people still have to replace their heater cores...i found that all i had to do was remove my glove box...you can see all the bolts with no problem...then i had to remove my blower to get to the clamps...but all in all it wasnt as bad as i thought it was gonna be...it turned into an all day experience when i decided to hook up my new amp ...sounds great...lata

well it would of been easier, didn't they change like everything around from 85-86

not everything, but enough to make it a pain in the ass I changed out the heatercore in my '85 in a couple hours. And like Jasdawg said, only had to pull the glovebox insert to get at the top screws. I'm not sure about the '86 and up, but I think you do hafta pull the dash.
