What size Torx, to take out an airbag ??

I am parting out a 5th generation Maxima GLE...

I am trying to take out the airbags and the airbag module / computers as well... As well as the seat belts.

I don't have any tamper resistant / tamper proof Torx bits... I have the regular Torx bits but just not tamper proof.

My question is this... What size bit is it to take out the airbags? People are telling me that it is a T50 tamperproof torx, but I just spoke with somebody from a Nissan dealership and he said it was a T30 tamper resistant bit.

So I need somebody with experience taking these out or somebody with the repair manuel to shed some light... Please !!!

Is it a T30 Tamper proof, or is it a T50 ?



Also like I said I am parting one out, so if you need anything at all give me a shout...

AL 609-941-4501

thank you

Thanks man.... Do you have one? I can't find one in any store around here. Went to Napa, Advanced auto, Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Home Depot, Lowes, Sears hardware, and a local small hardware store to no avail. NO BODY HAS ONE !!! I am not going to spend like $50 on a snap on bit...

If you have one and would send it to me to borrow, I will send it back with something off the car if u need any thing.

auto zone should have had a $10 set, if you have a harbor freight or tractor supply around you, try there. I've seen sets in there for about $5.

Auto zone does not have the set either... i just checked them again today... but good look on the Harbor Freight.. Didn't call them yet, but there is one about 20 minutes from me where I pick up powder for powder coating rims...
I'll ask them

thanks
