Hi Ron. You can do it yourself by buying ad adapter that screws onto your tire's air valve and has a garden hose fitting on the other end. Any tractor supply place will have one. My local NAPA dealer has them. Rotate the tire until the valve is at 6:00, connect the adapter, connect the hose and you can drain. Here comes the hard part. If you dump this stuff on the ground, nothing is gonna grow there for about 50 years (remember Attila the Hun?) You may have up to 20-gallons of mix in each tire, so a 5-gallon "mud" bucket ain't gonna get it for this job. An alternative would be to contact an ag tire dealer if you have one in your area. They will come to your place, drain the tires and remove the tires from the rim so you can inspect for any rust damage. You may want to have the guy leave then so you can clean up and paint the rims, and have him come back to mount them, though of course the second trip will add to the cost. Either way, it will give you a good opportunity to see how sound the wheels are and whether you have any rust damage. If you want some added weight in the rear tires for field work or moving snow, the ag tire guy can refill with a water/anti-freeze mixture. You won't get the weight of CaCl, but you will get helpful added weight without the risk of rust. If you have pets, don't leave any anti-freeze out in puddles or whatever. Buddy of mine lost a beautiful White German Shepherd when he left some anti-freeze out in a pail in his shop. Hope this helps..... ..... Ed
