CH, you have disappointed me yet again. The consensus on this forum is to keep the crt's intact so as not to release TOXINS !
You are deliberately doing something AGAIN that we have encouraged others OVER and OVER not to do. Now a noob comes in all confused cause he reads your posts about bashing tv's and mentioning GAS. We have said over and over..there are NO gases inside crt's..it is a vacuum and the hiss you hear is sucking in. I pray that you are not seriously injured someday.

Yes a vacuum like a lite bulb the term gas is definitely loose from me. CRTs have a large board box I have twisted off with no hiss but as you well know that often is not possible as these things really were not meant to be repaired in a user friendly way, some use a glass to thin at end ,they can crack just looking at it. as even when built in the 90's it was less money to just buy a new one . I do work out side and if size allows i do get a box a low cost bag to line box and after i am done tv goes in box with words on box TV does not work now that the town i collect from has a tv drop off I take advantage of it . I do not just bust to smithereens as whats the point , But sure i have opened many a tv that was busted up in side.

I break the gas vacuum first, mostly by just wiggling the circuit board or smacking the plug end with a hammer or pliers, facing away from it & covering my eyes.
Once all of the airs been sucked in & its safe to work on it.
I use a Phillips screwdriver to undo the two stainless steel bands.
Then I twist the yoke sideways till its loose & pull it off.
Pop the two black metal clips holding the two iron ceramic rings on the yoke & then I pop out the inner copper coils out of the plastic.
The ceramic rings, I break it up with a hammer untill its broken all thru & the copper wire is still intact.
Then I keep sorting thru the loose copper coil to get rid of all the ceramic, that can be checked with a magnet.

response to this post - you stated " two iron ceramic rings on the yoke " in all my TV & CRT's I found them all to be steel and I sell as short I only mention this in case you don't realize they are a valuable part of the yolk / once you have a bucket of them.Originally Posted by eesakiwi
The vacuum I find this works well , pop off the red rubber cap attached to transformer - once off take a small punch & pop it in to that spot that the rubber cap was pluged . I find it never breaks the glass and seems a safe way to allow air to suck in
PS
use a punch with a nice rubber handle as should the hammer also be .
