Passenger Airbag Torx Size

I know the steering wheel airbag uses a T30 Tamper proof, but what does the passenger side use? I've heard T30 and T45, anyone know for sure?

I could be thinking of 4th gens, what I mainly work on. Sorry for the confusion.

I looked at the FSM, and it does say the driver's bag uses T-30. No mention of the passenger bag bolt size however. Strange.

To answer my own question, the passenger size is a regular 12mm bolt and the steering wheel is a T30 Security Torx.

T50 security torx

And for the love of god, get the driver as a 1/2" bit, you'll understand better once you get under there.

Must have changed in the 5th vs 5.5 gen. Consider yourself verrrrry lucky, you think looking for the bit was hard? Heh...
