Time to play..."Name that Tool"

Hello all,
Who knows what size Security Torx bit is necessary to remove the airbag "tamper proof" Torx bolts on a 97-99 SE steering wheel. I used the search here and Google'd it and found GOOSE EGG. Thanks for the info in advance!

It is a T-50.
Yes, it has a hole in the middle.

wow, i think that was one of the shortest yet most informative thread on the forums in a long time...usually there would be 2 or 3 right answers, and then 4-5 wrong answers from newbies...and then of course the usualy argueing between who is right and who is wrong. GOOD WORK BOYS!

It's a T45 and you dont have to have the hole on the socket.

Well I know you NEED the security bit, as I have already attempted this task, and I do know its either a T50 or a T55, a T45 is way too small. I only failed because I had too small of bits. But as was stated earlier, a T50 should be the correct size, as a T55 is quite large. So imma agree with oldngivout, especially since he did it today. But feel free to bicker about this, I don't mind.

I think someone's just pulling our legs on this one!

Trust me, it's a T-50 with the hole.
