My plan is to let the TV sit unplugged for awhile, order the parts when I get the money, and disconnect the flyback wires, and the other wires connected to the board. The TV is sitting in my garage, which is unheated. Should I worry about the cold temperatures damaging anything inside it? I can't store it in my house because of its size.

No problem on the low temp, unless you're talking 20 below or something... The coolant in the CRT assemblies is a glycol-based fluid, so it won't freeze like some of the water-cooled Magnavoxes did.

How long do you guys think the TV needs to sit unplugged before it would be safe to disconnect the flyback wires? That's the only thing preventing me from removing the board to work on the TV.
I'd like a definitive answer if possible, because I'm afraid of getting zapped.

I'm not concerned with the IC's at the monent.
 I am concerned with being able to disconnect the flyback without electrocuting myself.I'll worry about buying good quality IC's after I get the board out of the Tv without getting zapped.

I haven't powered the TV on in a couple weeks now. I plan on ordering the convergence IC's in December. I haven't removed the board yet because I'm still wary of trying to disconnect the flyback wires. Can I be reasonably sure that I can disconnect them now?
I plan on replacing the convergence IC's, the resistors around them, and the lytic caps for good measure. I have a variable temperature soldering iron, a good solder remover, and even some desoldering wick if I need it.

I think you're plenty safe on disconnecting those HV wires.
