Jack it up and remove the tire without removing the wheel. No need to remove the wheel and I have a lawn mower axle with the same type wheel rusted in place premanently.

First take some soapy water and apply it around the valve stem to see if that where the air is leaking. Also apply the soapy water on both tire beads. If no leaks are found,then remove the tire. There is also a product called SLIME that is supposed to fix slow leaks, but it never worked for me.

When the leak is fixed, leave the bolt out in hopes that a lot of use and oil will eventually free up the rust.
