hehe, well when I ordered the parts I made a mistake, and two of them are 
0402..
You just need a good set of tweezers and a magnifying glass (even my fine 
tipped soldering iron looks HUGE compared to the 0402 devices).
Anyway, I managed it without much hassle, but I wouldn't want to do it 
again.. 0603 is about as small as I'd go, normally, I preffer 0802 though...
