I am being lazy as my micrometers are broken...anyone know the answer?

Every BB and SB I've ever torn down has been that size.....

what i have done in the past is whatever part of the car i'm working on, i write down all the nut and bolt sizes, that way for future maintenance, i just look at my notes and get the proper wrenches/sockets lined up and take them under the car with me

And man, I hate working on the newer junk with metric and SAE stuff. Damn I hate it to the max!
