There are feeler gauges and electrode bending tools, but if you don't 
find one, get yourself cheap set of feeler gauges and cut the top of 
those you need into strip to fit the space, and use that for measuring. 
To bend the electrode, tap it lightly with flat object twice or three 
times the weight. If you overdo it, return it back with the gauge you 
made, for which the very top shooed be made thinner, or use small 
screwdriver. But why bother, NGK plugs are so cheap, and if you don't 
sand blast them, the job is only half way done.
