It can be done with care, just don't put pressure on fine wire center electrode or insulator. I'll occasionally find one's where ground wire is out of alignment, that I'll bend. That said FSM is clear: Do not change gap on used spark plugs if out of spec replace. If gap becomes to wide, as they do with age, it pulls to much power and will overheat coil.
