Okay, that's not going to happen. Thanks for the reply.

Just inferred a better way from rereading the instructions. Easier to release them from the Y connector than the extruders. I still would like to know how the extruder side clamps work. It would be useful when installing my filament sensors on the input side.

Perfect! Thanks Bill.

Looks like this one might have the potential to handle the retractions smoothly. There's also an available Octoprint plugin for it.: https://smile.amazon.com/BIGTREETECH-Printer-Filament-Detection-Detector/dp/B07Z97582P/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=rZHhS&pf_rd_p=03bef33a-a357-4fe3-9505-7fd4d6236957&pf_rd_r=FJ70GYBGDXCNRWT1Y4QW&pd_rd_r=7a7448a3-1fcd-4e1d-b8ae-c5fa8b8bf886&pd_rd_wg=Rdzha&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
