So how do you replace the anode wire on a chassis?

A friend's MS9's anode wire has a broken clip. How do you go about replacing the wire?

I've surprisingly never run into this issue and am unsure how to advise.

Well, you don't replace the wire, you replace the clip / hook at the end. The few I have replaced have been soldered on. I usually keep a few junk flybacks with intact clips in my spare parts box because of this.
 
I did that with a K7000 anode. I just soldered it back on. It was held together with solder anyway.
 
Easy enough!

But I know I've seen anode wires with cup sold separately before. So they must be replaceable?
 
I've seen that too, now to think of it. Plus in some flybacks, the anode wire is solderable to the flyback; G07 comes to mind.
 
I've seen rear projection TVs that have flybacks that have removable anode wires (they plug in at the top of the flyback).
 
Interestingly enough, I had to do just this same repair for a WG K7000 minutes ago and took some snaps. In my case, I managed to upgrade the anode retaining clip from a donor, if that is at all even possible:
  • On the left is the receipient; to the right, the donor
    • Sack the anode cap from a TV donor which was sacked further for its tube
    • Ensure that the anode cap is threaded onto the anode wire of the receipient chassisas before you do this otherwise you will have to desolder and do it the in proper sequence

  • In my case, I desoldered the andode clip from the donor
    • Not shown is after the solder is sucked out from the bottom of the clip's inside bend, is an eyelet to thread the anode wire metal through
    • Helps holding it in place as you solder
    • Strip back anode wire about 3/8"
    • Tin it and thread it through the clip eyelet, if any
    • Flood the anode retainer clip and wire with solder
    • Make sure you get a really strong joint because as you move the cap back in place, it could break the joint

  • Flip anode retainer clip over so it surrounds the anode wire insulation

  • Thread that anode cap back over the tip of the wire and whol-lah!

K7000's come with the cheap ass rabbit ear style anode clips. This one was from a high end TV from years back. So I did manage and upgrade.
