IBM 3151 Terminal - How to Discharge CRT?

Hello all. I have a 1988 IBM 3151 terminal that seems to have some issues on the board. I would like to remove the board but need to remove the anode cap to do that. I've seen quite a few posts/videos about discharging CRT TVs/monitors, but this set seems a bit different in that it doesn't have a grounding strap. The only metal I see is the screw tabs/bolts in the corners of the monitor, holding it to the front of the case and the odd fork thing (do any of you know what that is, picture attached) that is attached to the logic board and bends to touch the CRT. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
