If you ever broke a tube unintentionally, you are a monkey. 
I am a monkey myself. But I wasn't trying to remove it from the LC assembly when I did it. I removed a complete LC assembly
from the Marquee but forgot and left one cable connected. The sudden yank in the wrong direction induced a hairline crack in the
glass and I didn't notice it. When I reinstalled the assembly later that day, the image (blue CRT) was dim and shaking around like
a reflection in a pond, accompanying by a hissing/arcing noise, and a few seconds later there was a bang as the neck snapped clean,
most likely caused by arc cutting or arc-induced thermal expansion at the cracked spot on the neck.
No, I wasn't happy about that. Fortunately I did have a spare.

Just to clarify...
I may be a monkey, but with a reason  This tube replacement is for a very (shall we say) demanding client. I like this guy a lot, but he appreciates it when everything goes perfectly all the time.
The reason this happened is because I wanted zero chance of damaging the rubber bellows. If I had damaged the bellows then there would have been a delay while I obtained new ones. This client does not like delays so I decided to remove the tube with the cooling chamber intact without touching the bellows.
This is also why I had the C element out, because I knew that the tube might implode even though I didn't think that it would. In any event, I wasn't going to remove the bellows and I wasn't going to soak the bellows in solvent either.
