I ordered an alcantara type material instead

Hmmm...
I'm thinking about it....
Plus I got a buddy that makes runs to NYCEE area about once a month... he typically stays at the Hampton Inn in Mahwah [Jersey]
So If you're willing to drive down & drop off ...
Can you post a link for this "Lube-Guard"? I'm curious...
................................................................................
Plus I'm debating on mixing-in this TRIAX brand ULV ATF Fluid too...
Seems like this is just as good or better than the Motorcraft version...
Thanks
Not sure how or why these didn't come up while searching

This is what I use on ALL my rides & I give it a light snug when the handle is collapsed [short] when I lower the tire enough just to touch the ground.
Then one light snug with the handle fully extended & lowered abit more...
Get this-
ANOTHER wheel stud needs replacement!
This time Rear Passenger side
It's simply loose, I almost couldn't back off the lug-nut too.
Created another one since having to deal with the "flat" tire this past weekend...
Went to Amzn & shelled out $40 for a bag of 10 DORMAN wheel studs...
I actually adjusted tire pressures based on my Driving/Weather/Road-Conditions/Loaded/Unloaded.
OE 255/65R17
30psi
Went to:
Front - 32psi
Rear - (D)30 psi (P) 28 psi [empty]
Rear - WINTER> (D) 28 psi (P) 26 psi [empty] Or less with snow/ice
NOW
PLUS-Sized
275/60R18
Front - 34psi
Rear - (D)28...
SO... I'm at the store & walking thru the parking lot I see I got a flat tire... Great....
I use my own floor jacks & wood blocks when I do a normal tire rotation in the driveway but now....
I'm stuck using the OE roadside/emergency scissor-jack!
I don't have a sticker or card showing where...
Similar situation-
Was helping a buddy out...
Friend of mine has one just like this but the ends keep slipping around the oil filter...
Thankfully I had a different brand/version of this same tool in my tool-bag...
Plus,
I can only seem to find a Dorman-Brand replacement-
Can anyone post any links for quality brand replacements

After searching, thought about ARP Bolts:
ARP 100-7725
But found...
I'm doing this work in the driveway & kinda worried about "banging-out" the broken stud and possibly damaging the existing wheel-bearing in the process...
So I figured I'd simply "swap-out" the hub assembly & later find a shop with a press to deal with the existing hub assembly.
I couldn't...
Any Update(s)?
I just completed an oil & filter change on mine and did a wheel/tire rotation too.
Well,
[Driver-side front]
I end-up snapping one these studs completely off as I started to torque the lug nut.
So I loosened all the five remaining and checked the studs...
Seems like the other...
I up-sized from the OE 255/65R17 to Bronco 18-inch wheels w/ 275/60R18 Michelin Highway tire.
I do Zero offroading.... my truck sees all-season highway miles....
The OE Kan't-Hooks 255/65R17 were down-right dangerous in snow/slush highway driving...
Even in 4x4 mode too
Had to take alot of air...
