Default Need to replace center AC Vent/Grill

I have to replace the radio in my 2000 C5. I have cracked AC vent right above it that should be replaced since I'll have everything out up to it. I searched everywhere I could think and couldn't find how to remove and replace it. Just doesn't make sense to be that close and not do it. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance "pear"

pull the entire dash cover

it takes about 30 minutes, a bit more on the install

I have a spare a/c vent if you need one, 35 shipped

Steve, I've got the center one, but if I have to remove the dash pad I do need a right one. The one just to the right of the glove box, if you have one of those. Was hopeing not to have to remove the dash pad but I guess I still feel if I'm that far it's nuts not to do it all. Thanks "pear"
