Sounds correct to me. Take a clip lead and clip one end of the wire to a thin screwdriver and the other end to the chassis ground and slide it under the suction cup, HV wire that connects to the side or top of the CRT. Might do it several times as CRTs have a tendency to rebuild some residual charge. Never had a problem with electrolytic caps as the change on them usually drains off by itself, but it sure doesn't hurt to ground the terminals on them as well just in case. Don't worry, it won't kill you, but it can give you a nasty jolt. Most of the time you get zapped and you jerk your hand and arm out of the set skinning your hand or arms.
