I need to replace my steering wheel with a new one but noticed the bolts to remove the airbag one is a torx and the other looks like an anti theft bolt. Where can I find the tool to remove the anti theft bolt?

 

both should be torx security bits(also called torx anti-tamper or anti theft)..you can get them anywhere they sell torx bits...harbor freight..amazon.. they are jsut torx bits hollowed out with a pin in the middle

 

Just to add, the size of the torx head is T-30:


I bought a 1/4" T-30 socket from Lowe's for a few bucks.

OR, do you have one of these:

 

T30 Torx bit, and a 24mm socket for the nut inside the wheel. Make sure the battery is disconnected so the airbag light doesn’t come on, as your disconnecting an air bag here

 

Yes I have one that looks like that. Can I order the tool to remove it?

 

If you have the tamper resistant bolt (not the torx-type) then you will have to either contact the dealer to see if you can get a replacement key or maybe you can find a creative way to remove the bolt. Keep in mind that those SRS bolts have thread lock on them so they are good and tight in there.

You will likely have to take the car to the dealer to have them identify which key/kit you have. Examples:

Hope this helps...

 

interesting never knew that style bolt existed for the air bags. im so glad my car didnt have those lol. i thought that style was only used on the wheels lol
