Well, as my restoration progresses on my 850 I am up to removing my rear tires which came to me Loaded with CaCl fluid. I am a one man band here so I want to drain the tires prior to removing them. One obviously needs a new rim due to corrosion, and whilst the other looks OK, I suspect it may be corroded inside as well. So, does anyone have any experience or tips on draining loaded tires in such a way that I don't just release all the fluid onto my property. I have some 55 gal drums I can use for temp fluid storage prior to disposal. Is there a fitting and tubing I can buy cheaply that will fit onto the valve stem? I am OK with jacking up the rear end enough to rotate the tires on the axle to bring the valve stem into any position. Any help really appreciated, as always. Larry
