Those are Torx T30 bolts. Be careful. Those hold in the airbag. Ensure that the car battery is disconnected for 3 minutes prior to removal. An airbag can seriously injure or kill you at close range.

it's funny how something meant to save your life can also kill you.

You'll probably need a steering wheel puller as well if you intend on removing the steering wheel. You will also need to replace the airbag properly or you will have an SRS light illuminated on your dash.
