Another horn with a mind of its own

I made a left turn, heard a snap sous from the steering wheel and the horn was stuck on. Wonderful, I felt around behind to see how to remove the air bag and it feels like two torx hold it on.

Anyone know the exact size? I'd like to dig in ASAP so I can have a working horn.

IIRC, it's 25 there is a recent post on here with the tool it takes a LONG torx bit, like from a screwdriver designed for it. not just a bit on a driver.

Cool, I'll hit the harbor freight locally and then to the junk yard. Horn switches are $4. Win

And I just sold those Matco torx t handles.
