When you do find the right size, make sure the lbs guy knows how to put them in. DO NOT try to tighten them by tightening the nut. That will strip the threads. Hammering works if you support the crank underneath so you aren't hammering onto the bearings. A press is the best way to tighten them. Then you can put the nut on to act as a retainer.
