The easiest is to call the farm coop, those that work with farm tires have a service truck, will come out & pump it out.

However, those tubes will never be totally free of CC, so you will need to buy new tubes, flush everything else liberally to rinse off the CC, and go from there. Since CC is a salt, you'll need to really strip off the stuff on your old rims, & get the rust stablized. Or, the same old rust will show through in a short time again.

If you want weight in your tires, I would still use CC. You just need to have good tubes & good valves on them, and you should not have any problems for 20 years or more. Any leakage (inflating, ec.) you just flush with water RIGHT away, and you won't ever notice a problem. The rusting comes from inattention to maintaining things right.

I don't think much of using antifreeze for weight - it just isn't heavy enough.
