1994 to 1997 Chevy S 10 Front Grille and Bumper Replacement guide by Howstuffinmycarworks

Dude I wish everyone's help videos was as smooth and to the point as yours! I'm doing swaps on my 94 s10 and this helped me alot!! Thanks

Hey man, nice work. The guide is very easy to follow along with. I own a 1998 Chevy S-10 and I thought I'd point out the differences in-case someone owns a later model. Difference 1: The grill is not held in by any bolts, it is only held in by snap clips. Also, be extremely careful when taking the grill off, 20 year old plastic is fragile. Difference 2: You must gently pop out the turn signal from the grill. You only need to take off the lens (light cover?) of the turn signals. Disconnect them in the manner shown in the video. You do not need to touch the headlights. The way the 1998 bumper is bolted on is different from the 1997 model. There are two bolts underneath, located near the wheels (back corner on both ends of bumper). You must use a pivoting extension (I needed two) in order to remove the bolt. You must also (or at least I did) place a wrench on the square nut which is also on the bolt. The wrench pretty much holds itself in place and is only there to prevent the nut from turning. Under the hood of the truck (top of the bumper) there are 4 bolts. They are in a similar spot to the ones in the 1997 model except the 2 lower bolts are slightly harder to get at, use a pivoting extension (for your ratchet, of course). Other than that, it is a very similar process to the video above. Note: my 1998 S-10 is the sport side edition, I am unsure if the standard model has the same configuration.

Dang: You're so young. You look like a kid still in high school. Glad you showed this old geezer something. But I need to know how I can straighten out the bumper just enough to stop it from rubbing on the left tire to drive it to ABRA. Oh, thanks for the video.

[@nicolasptejeida5999]

Muchas gracias... Thank you very much....

[@danielamezcua8007]

Do i need to unhook the negative from the battery if I’m just replacing the front grill or should I be okay?

[@thebakery3996]

All these positive comments but no likes or dislikes. Wtf?

[@leeB0nes]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@amanda_3697]

What exact tools did you use in the video ?

[@stevendiffy768]

I have a broken bumper end cap. How do I remove it and replace it?

[@dvddmc]

how do you remove the lisens plate bracket on the front??

[@turtlegaming3829]

Quick question for everyone on here, I drive a 2002 GMC Sonoma. I want a steel front bumper that’s made for the s10. I know that most parts between these trucks are interchangeable but is the bumper?

[@robbiegonzalez1839]

Hello! Do you know what bolt size should I use for the rear bumper bracket? My rear bumper fell on the road and can't find the right size.... Thanks!

[@RavenKraken]

[@atlaseca]

[@Sounga74]

Can you show us how to do a 2001 chevy blazer LT

[@americanmilitiaman88]

[@wdfgamingnetwork]
