Default 97 Pontiac Grand Am Air Bag Replacement..help - 11-22-2006 , 08:33 PM






Hi...wazzup?
I have a 97 GA with a bad horn switch and the switch is made in the damn
airbag because its a brilliant design. Anyway I have a used one I ordered
off the net for about $140. My question is because of the location of the 2
screws on the back of the steering wheel I can't see what type or size it
is, all I can do is feel and know its either a torque screw or hex but every
tool I have tried I cant get a snug fit and cant tell what type or size it
is. Anyone know what type and size will fit these screws?

For what it's worth the service manual for a '98 GA says that these screws
are Torx but does not say what size they are.

A mechanics mirror is cheap and may help you to be sure what type they are.
