Ive been searching and searching with no avail..

I need to replace the screws that go into the mount for the airbag because the previous owner stripped them.

Does anyone know where I can purchase or find the 2 screws that go into the the side of the airbag mount or if they sell them at the dealership ? I believe they are Torx 30 screws.

Check the images below.

Please any help is appreciated.

I ordered the Torx -30 screws from the dealer( they didnt have them in stock ) for anyone else who was wondering:

I also asked them about the trim piece that goes around the airbag and they said they dont carry them and you have to buy the whole steering wheel for $1600 (LOL)

Is their anyone selling just the trim piece or does mitsu sell them and that guy was crazy?

Damn, any ideas on how to remove this damn screw?

I might have to drill it out.

Thanks bro. It was a dealership item. I posted the Part Number in my 2nd post above.

two different ways to get it out an easy out for one. u drill a hole in the head and thread the easy out in and it should bite enough to break it loose.

secound way take a cut off wheel and cut a slot in it and find a piece of metal that wil fit in the slot even if u have to make it bigger and use it as handle like the letter "T" and turn it off.

you can always add a little bit of heat to get it out just be careful not to melt anything.

good luck with that!!

easy out should do it, or a a cut-off wheel to make a slice and then use a big flat head.

don't mess with it, take it to a machine shop and let the pros handle it, no place for error here as there's no replacements available.

haha thanks a bunch guys for all the effort.

I actually got the bolt off when I posted my last post.

I tried PB blaster and any way you could think off to remove it in the position it was in.

Before bringing drills into the subject I decided to remove each piece that can come off the steering wheel.

Easiest way is to disassemble everything on the steering wheel and had enough room to work with . Once dissembled I just used a vise grip and it came right off. Ordered the screws and put it back together!
