actually that's not the "proper" way. the correct way would be to use needlenose pliers to ensure that you don't damage the electrode. most people however use the gapping tool to widen the gap and bang it on something to close it. that should NEVER be done on an irridium, it will break.
boy the conversations we could get into about gapping plugs... and the things I have been yelled at for doing at work by the Japanese that design the plugs... HAHAHA

just to clarify... you have to be careful where you grab it with pliers... I would actually recommend Iverson's method over using pliers... pliers will mare the surface of the ground electrode... I would avoid this method. And you really need certified pin gages... not one of those "gapping tools"... but... how many of us have pin gages laying around?? hahaha

Also... you can do this to your "original plugs"... all you are doing is closing the gap and ensuring that when the plug fires it is going electrode to electrode. You are helping reduce any outside fators ("spark blow out", etc.)... but if you aren't having any trouble with misfires, there is no need to regap your plugs...

yes, you CAN regap your stock plugs but if you're at the point where you need to regap stock plugs, just replace them with better ones. The stock plugssuck my left ********. so just get Denso Iridiums (or NGK's if you prefer) and be done with it.
