Put a moving blanked on the floor, fold twice only. Hold the CRT by the neck. Lift the CRT off the blanket at least 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Drop the CRT squarely down on the blanket. Once, if you are good at it, two times if you are a novice. It will seperate quite nicely. The lens is tough. You could beat on it with a roller skate and not break it. I have seen this done! We had one in the shop and it took several good wacks from a sledge hammer before it broke, so thumping it down on the floor is not a big deal. This is the reccomended way to get it off the CRT. Just don't let anyone bang the front of the CRT with this protective cover removed, could be unpleasantly interesting if children are involved.....the glass was kinda thin before these were intergrated as one unit.

Is this some sort of sick joke? You lift a CRT by grabbing the neck?
It almost sounds possible to bounce the safety glass off but if I find out you are trying to be funny I will be very angry that someone's safety is put at risk.
Somebody who knows needs to comment on this immediately!
