Is it easy to bend copper tube with a bending spring, I only want 2 forty 
five degree angles, and how do you get the spring out.
 Thank you for any help.

the spring will pull out easy, especially at 45 degrees, even 90 degrees its 
easy

one should have a loop, put a screwdriver in the loop and pull!

Bending springs have a loop at the end, I always thread some string through
and knot it..always works as long as the string is longer than the pipe!

As well as just straight pulling, rotate the eye so that the spring 
tightens.  Then its diameter gets smaller and it pulls out more easily

hi jo,
as already said use strong string i use 6 mm stranded wire myself. 
a good way to remove the spring is to slightly over bend, then bend
back the small amount, then it will remove easily.
