Air bag replacement

So my step dad just called and said he was working on the maxima, but wasn't sure about what tools he's going to need to pull the old air bag. Anyone know what size allen key is needed? (I think it was an allen head.. not sure) I'm about 100 miles away from the car right now, so I'm not much help, but maybe you guys remember from experience.

They are special bits called "Safety Torx" bits or something like that. They resemble regular Torx bits but have an extra piece in the middle that prevent regular Torx bits from being used. I borrowed my mechanic's set when I took the airbag off my parts car. I think auto parts stores carry them, but is it worth paying $30 for a set to use once or twice?
