You should ideally discharge the tube first, I'll leave it to the CRT experts to tell you how to do that safely and correctly.

If / when you remove the tube be as protective towards it as you know how, especially with the tube neck and tube end where the connections are. Also at least wear protective eyewear when handling / moving it because if you fumble it and drop it there will be glass everywhere.
