    Are you sure those are the right type lug nut? They look like cone seat lug nuts. What you want are cone seat bulge style lug nuts. Bulge lug nuts have an extended seating surface that is designed to match the wider seating surface used on some aluminum wheels.

    Did you try using the magnetic flexible pickup tool ? I see you have tried with the flexible claw pickup tool. I think twine will be too limp. Maybe use tie wire instead with a noose like loop on the end but you will need to be able to see it and use the claw or the magnet to hold it.

    I don't know how much Mercon LV you will need for a flush or what the power steering system capacity is but if you have 1.5 + quarts left over you can use it to change the transfer case fluid in your 2013.
