Some years ago, our very own Dr. Tom Lee gave this simple yet excellent Mac CRT discharge advice:

Power-on your compact Mac. Crank up the brightness all the way. Yank the power cord. Wait two seconds. Now the CRT is discharged and you can pry off the suction cup with a screw driver.

I've tried it. It works well. No tools required.
