Also some mowers have a key and key way and over a period of time the key way gets wallowed until the key is not located in the key way anymore, you will have to work wheel back and forth until key is aligned to key way to remove wheel. If tires are not too bad I believe I would buy a couple of tubes and try to install in the tires on the mower.

The wheel should just slide off. This sometimes breaks the ring, so take it with you to the hardware store and get a new one. The ring just taps back on.
