Hi
I'm told a thin piece of music wire or guitar string
is what to use.
Most just leave the shield off. I'm not sure if one
could replace is without some heavy duty vacuum
equipment.

For an HP, I used some suitable resistance wire and a 12V DC power supply - it
ran hot enough to assist with 'sawing' through the bond between faceplate and
CRT, but not *too* hot (that being a subjective thing, but doubtless I could
have used something with more power and done the job far more quickly, but I
didn't want to put too much localised heat into the tube)
Faceplate was reattached with just an air gap and some clear caulk around the
very edges.
