The cabinet opens in the bottom part of the back but the monitor is located above this opening so I cannot get to the anode or even see much of the monitor.
THe monitor is to be extracted from the front.

If you can't get to the anode cap just go ahead and pull the monitor out the front. I do this all the time without discharging just be careful not to grab the cap. It isn't going to jump out and get you

Well, my NOOBness includes not knowing what is dangerous and what is not dangerous to tough. Isn't the back part of the screen dangerous too? And that might be difficult not to touch.

The only dangerous part when a monitor is off is the anode cup. The monitor should have supports that you can hold. Once everything is disconnected I will take the nuts off the from and try to pull the monitor forward into my chest. Tilt til you can grab the supports and lift out.
