When you replace the drop do you cut out the old T or pull the drop off somehow and install a new one?

I replace drops and tees and any connectors. Bacteria.

I try to change drops every 5 seasons and use a 2 hand tool to cut out the old Y connector and put in a new Y and drop.
Found Ys increased flow of sap several seasons ago....think of a stop sign as a tee and a Y as an on ramp. Same tree had a tee and a Y had less sap in the drop and a slightly higher drip count per minute than the tee.
Best of Luck
