The car that I purchased had its stereo stolen and someone had broken the turn indicator in the process of smashing the window. So I proceeded to get a new turn signal assembly and this weekend decided to tackle the job.

Well theres one problem. The Airbag assembly is attached with two special torx screws. No problem, call Nissan and buy the special socket. Wrong. Nissan wont sell the socket to me and wants to do the whole job. I tried drilling a hole in a normal torx socket but they are simply too hard of a material for the tools I have at home.

Im wondering if anyone a) has the special bit I can borrow for a day (below). b) Knows a tech at Nissan that will let me come by and use the tool in the lot or loosen the screws for me.

Go to any Electronic Shop and pick up a little kit of Security Torx Bits.

Cost’s like $9.99 and will get the job done.
