Tool to get Airbags Out?

Just curious, but could someone tell me what kind of socket is required to get the airbags out of the steering wheel and dash? It looks like a Torx, but it has a pin in the center of it. Was wondering if this is a Nissan special tool I need to buy. Thanks.

You take off the battery for 15 minuites, then use a 40 security torx, take them off on both sides, bam the airbag is off, done deal.
