Draining liquid from rear tires

I have an "A" that I'm gradually restoring while using lightly. I'd like to get around to painting the wheels and rims pretty soon. The rear tires have liquid (I'm assuming calcium chloride) AND wheel weights. I can't imagine that I need all that extra weight for light duty (no plowing or other high traction needs). Can anyone suggest a reason for keeping the liquid in the tires? I was thinking of driving to an area where I don't mind the vegetation kill from the calcium chloride and just draining it and then refilling with a portable compressor.

If you are doing any work on hills, it would be a good idea to leave the fluid in there. The fluid lowers the center of gravity and will improve the stability on hills.

I agree with on not needing all the weight unless stability on hills is an issue. Another possible way to drain it might be to have buckets and a piece of tubing handy, unscrew the valve core, then quickly stuff the tube over the valve stem and collect the liquid for disposal.

Draining liquid from tires, you can get a piece of tubing and connect it to a hand pump, like a barrel pump and pump the liquid out. put the valve on the bottom and have the tractor jacked up so as not to damage your tires.
