Pictures? Most lawn tractors don't have rear wheel nuts they only have a circlip.

Youtube will find you a few other ways but I leave them on and just fill them with goop

That happened to me and I had to bate it off. It was worse than the guy in the video.

I grease them now before I put them back.

If you have tubeless tyres you can usually fix them in situ with plugs.

There's bottles of slime that you put in through the valve that'll seal the puncture if it just a thorn etc that punctured it.

Goop - the stuff I linked to in my first post is ideal. I have all 4 tractor tyres filled with it and 3 barrow tyres and it works great. I had three of the four tractor tyres go flat one had 7 punctures all from blackthorn. Filled them all with goop (you can do it without removing the wheel off the tractor) and they are now all holding air and have probably had a good few punctures since. I did find you need the max amount recommended and may be a bit more. Only put the bare minimum in the front tyres and they very slowly went down till I topped them up.

Thats enough for your average lawn tractor but I wouldn't be afraid to put in a bit extra.
