does anyone know what tool exactly is used to remove this? thanks

 

What/where is this?

 

is that on the steering wheel? It looks like it needs a torx socket with the middle indent.

 

i thought it was a torx socket too... t-30 or t-40.. it doesnt fit and the pattern doesnt look the same. if you look closely it looks like a flower pattern not like the star pattern (torx)

 

go check out what harbor freight has in stock...or lowes/homedepot

 

I can't see the pic, but the "middle indent" sounds like a security bit of some sort.
You might want to search for a serrated bit they are similar to Torx but not quite the same. Snap On, or Mac tools have a lot of specialty stuff $$. Also here is a link to some security bits.

 

looks like torx socket , to me too

 

I can see the picture now, I am pretty sure this is a special nissan tool, (Kent-Moore J-42057 or J-44615 sets), way expensive, but a tamper proof Torx should be close enough to get it off. Or a regular Torx if you grind the center pin out of the bolt.

 

Really damn... What size torx would you say I tried t-40 which was too small.. =( thanks for your input.

 

I guess a T-45 of T-50 what ever is the largest you can fit in it. It won't fit precisely. Try this link

It doesn't look like it will come off easily,(loctite) and you will probably want to replace the bolt with a standard one. Be careful around those airbags, they are extremely powerful.
