Get some wood wedges and hammer them in between the grille and hood just enough to get a wrench to reach the bolts on the hood striker. Remove the striker bolts and the hood will be able to be lifted open.

How do you open the hood of a 91 Chevy S10 with a broken hood release?

I own a 92 with the same problem. You have to gain access from underneath with a socket wrench and long extensions to take off the top part of the release that is mounted to the underneath of the hood. I have the cable dropped down with a plastic "T" Handle tied to the end of the cable so that I can pull the release until I can find a replacement cable. I have been looking but have yet to find one. Hope this helps

How to Open hood on 1989 Chevy s10 with broken cable?

hey there, i had the same problem, but i figured it out! and now I'm gonna help you! grab a screw driver or something like that (thin, "pokey", and not easily broken), I used a SPOON! haha. right under your hood in the middle in the front, well actually slightly to the right and up a little bit theres a "loop" kind of thing. you need to push it back with your spoon or whatever you are using. that will open the hood as if you pulled the "hood release" lever in the cab, then all you gotta do is reach your hand in there and grab the handle that is slightly to the left of the middle and open it all the way. ________________________________________________________________________ .........................................L ____ m*____|.................................................... ________________________________|_______________________________________ (L) is the hand lever (m) is the middle (*) is the thing you gotta push kind of a crappy diagram, good luck!
