Charlie,
  Get some regular brush on bead sealant. You don't have to break down
the tire completely if you know where the leak is. Just let the air out
of it. Then use either your car/truck or even a lawn tractor or bumper
jack to pull the bead off in that spot. brush the sealer on and
re-inflate to seat the bead. Wait a few minutes and fill the tire up.
Oh and the sealer works great on vehicles with rusty rims and corroded
aluminum rims also.
