In general, the HV lead from the flyback to the tube(s) is not a
replaceable part: even if you can get it off, you probably can't
reliably get the new one on.  And flybacks are where fires start in CRT
monitors.  I'd buy the assembly, myself.  But why can't you get the
Second anode lead off the *tubes*?
