Side sensor collets

I am not too familiar with bowden parts so I ask the community for advice (do not want to sit on the phone for that long for this simple question.)
I need to replace a couple of the collets on my side sensor (yes I got a bit to aggressive and pushed them out and damaged them putting them back in.)

Are these special collets? or just regular ones?

 

Thanks

RE: Side sensor collets

To clarify - you are looking for this part - right?

That is my problem. Yes it look like that but it is not for the hot end. I require ones for the side sensor and well I hate to assume they are the same?  I assume they are the same though, just the online ones at amazon have a clip. Not sure if that makes a difference. If I require ones like your link has I  do not see them on amazon.
thanks

They're likely standard Bowden collets, but it's best to check the diameter and compatibility with your printer. Most 3D printer suppliers carry replacements.
