Got my first flat on the '29 last night - anybody got experience changing the tubes?

Brought my daughter for her first ride in the car last night. Came out this morning, back tire is flat as a pancake - stupid Louisiana roads!

Car is a '29 with the wire wheels and the bright snap ring on the outside of the rim. So, question is, what's the process for getting that ring off, dismounting the tire and stuffing a new tube in, preferably without killing myself. Very aggitating because the tires and tubes are less than three months old, and yes, has the flappers in it.

With the crappy roads we have around here and a lot of debris still lying around from Hurricane Ida, probably picked up a nail or something. Just curious how much hell on earth I'm in for! Thanks guys!
