I am trying to left align back button i.e remove the space on the left of the back arrow . Using a custom back button . 

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(named: "arrow03"), style: .Plain, target: self, action: "back")

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.clearColor()
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton

Refer below code to implement back button on left alignment.

let button: UIButton = UIButton (type: UIButtonType.Custom)
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "imageName"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: "backButtonPressed:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)
let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton

Note - Make sure your image has to be plain ( transparent ) background.

func backButtonPressed(btn : UIButton) {

    self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
}

Swift 4 Code

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let button: UIButton = UIButton (type: UIButtonType.custom)
    button.setImage(UIImage(named: "imageName"), for: UIControlState.normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: Selector(("backButtonPressed:")), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
    button.frame = CGRect(x: 0 , y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)

    let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)

    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton
}

func backButtonPressed(btn : UIButton) {

    self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
}
