I'll assume you have tried to air it already.

now if it is tubeless.. you can wet the tire down a,d then try to find the puncture, and then patch with a plug. If it is tube style, then you will ahve to break the tire down.

I imagine you have 2 choices.. either take the rim off and leave the center on the hub.. or take the whole assemby rim and center off. ( I guess some wheels are 1 piece.. not sure about yours.. ).

Once you have it off, you will need a couple tire irons.. I like spoons.. a short and a long one, perhaps one with a step or a 'titt' on the sfaft to help you work the casing off the rim.

While you could patch the tube.. I'd just get a new one. If the puncture hole in the casing is rough.. try to trim it up, and put a farm patch on the inside of the casing.. or cut up your old tube to make a boot for the damaged area. If the rim is rusty, sand / wire wheel / sand blast the rim inside, then paint with a good epoxy mental paint.. or rusty metal paint... allow you fully cure. Use only vegi based soap for lube when you reinstall the tube... and be carefull not to pinch it. A valve stem fishing tool will also be usefull. Alternatelyy, you can take this down to your local tire place and let them do it.. most places don't charge much to break down and re bead a tire..
