What size Torx bolt do I need to remove the airbags?

Your right, I did a search on yahoo and they do make these kind of bolts,,,they already have the hole in the middle...I'm gonna shop around tommorow,,maybe home depot, ace hardware, and if that's no luck...snap-on. I just need to find the correct size of torx bolt now.

ok cool, now i got all the info i need except for the size.

trust me, the first thing a junkyard does when they get a vehicle is to get the airbags out before it ever hits the field/lot. those things SELL BIG and FAST! and they dont wanna have thieves going after them in the middle of the night.
