Calcium Chloride problem

One of my tires is leaking. Can I remove the calcium Chloride as I don't need it for plowing anymore? Also are the rims beyond repair and if not, how do you fix this mess?
Thanks.

However, since it looks like the tire is a keeper, it has to come off anyway. That is where I would start and do an assessment from there. The rim may crumple when you try to get the tire off.

Good luck.

If you want the rim to be bent up for sure take it to an ag place for tire removal. They toasted mine.

Was it worth my time, NO.

I did it..

1: for a neighbor.

2: To prove to my Ole Ladys brother that it could be fixed, he was saying that it couldn't be fixed.

At least 8 hours of at least $25 an hour worth of labor, not counting gas and welding expenses.

What did I charge?

No charge...

The neighbor was tickled to death, and the Ole Ladys brother was pi$$ed (And I accomplished what I set out to do).

Believe the others, new rim.

BUT I would NOT try to remove the tire to repair the leaky tube 'cuz yer rims are so rust rotted.

NEUTRALIZE yer Calcium-Chloride SALT with mild ACID like VINEGAR. Then wire-brush and paint with RUST-KILLER paint called DeRusto by Permatex. It will turn yer rusty metal BLACK. Then paint yer rims with what-ever paint that pleases you.

As the boys say, it ain't cost effective to weld-repair yer rust-rotted rims. Unless yer a sphincterly challenged welder with experience in sheetmetal repair.

The "ONLY-THING" you will haffta do is to constantly monitor yer rear ag-bar tires tubes for 12psi tire pressure, 'cuz ya gottsumm leakers. (tip: ag-bar tires don't show under-inflation until about 4psi 'cuz stiff sidewalls)..... .Dell

Yes, you can remove the Calcium Chloride solution from your tires but your rims look to be in pretty bad shape.

Though rusted rims can be repaired by a good welder, it may not be cost effective to do so as new rims are available for around $100-$125.

Given your situation, it appears to me that you might be money and years ahead to buy new rims and tubes rather than trying to rapair the ones that you have.
