OK, all you big time racers out there, what is the correct procedure to purge air out of a tire before filling it with nitrogen?

The reason I ask is that any moisture mixed with nitrogen will create nitric acid, or some such vile stuff, if I remember correctly.

What about using air tools? Looks like a job for rubber gloves.
