Hey Dave.
I would remove the tuner. I believe portions are hard wired to the chassis
It's better to have the cabinet clear of any thing that may get in the way of lifting the tube straight up & out. You can see the small bracket on the back of the chassis. A metal tab on the tuner slides into this bracket. If you have the SAMS folder for the Deluxe chassis, the disassembly instructions are on the back page below the photo of the rear of the set. The instructions are for picture tube removal and chassis/tuner removal. IMO I think it would be a good idea to wait until your hand is all healed and not place unnecessary stress on it before the surgery.
