  A discharge tool??? That sounds kinda fancy..... Two long shanked screwdrivers [and maybe heavy gloves] will short those pins to
the frame......careful however that can really...really...really, hurt.
    sounds like a cap kit or flyback is the trouble.

That works fine for raster monitors, but not really the best way on a vector monitor.  You'll want to have a resistor on there to slowly drain the monitor or better yet, a HV probe.

Crayola:
Bob Roberts page says that the resistor is not needed. I have to imagine
he has worked on plenty of vector monitors in the past.

    I"ve never hurt one, been doin" it like forever..... But in all fairness, what Bob says goes, he won"t steer you wrong.
