Safe to Remove Keyboard Key?

[MagicSpeller]

Hi, I own a Spectre x360 laptop and the space bar has developed a problem. I have to type on the left end to get a space; otherwise, my words run together. It takes forever to type anything. The laptop is out of warranty. I contacted Support and asked if I could work on it myself. They suggested I take it to Best Buy. I don't want to do that because 1. It would cost money; 2. I don't know how long I would have to be without a computer; 3. I'm not sure I trust GeekSquad.

I've removed desktop keyboard keys and replaced them without problems. However, these key caps are quite different, so I'm hesitant. Can I pry off my space bar without causing problems?

Thanks!
