Yup, that's the idea.  Do them one at a time, so the crank is still
supported.  I flattened one of the lower inserts and used it as a drift to
start the upper ones out a little bit.  Then I was able to pinch the end
against the crank and turn the crank to roll it out the rest of the way.

Right again.

Yup, generally the undersize in .001" (eg 010 or 020 etc.).  However, I
would still suggest a final check with Plastigage, if you replace the
inserts.  Call it cheap insurance.
