Use a Binder Clamp to supply pressure for holding indicator in place during leveling and in up position to clear the bed for printing.
Two versions for different shaft sizes.
8 mm version has an 8.5 mm opening
9 mm version has an 9.8 mm opening
Your actual printed shaft diameter size may very by printer settings, choose the one closest to your indicator shaft size.
I prefer to leave my indicator attached at all times to compensate for the weight of the indicator when leveling out to the extreme ends. If the bed is level when the indicator is attached and you remove it, there is a possibility of the axis springing up some if the weight of the indicator is removed completely. I have no issues printing with the indicator left in the holder and just raise up and clamped to clear the bed.
