yea, um... really anyplace with a brake lathe that is big enough can do it, but as for as sanding it, you can do that too, but if there are any big burns, its better to spend a small amount of cash and get it resurfaced.

i wouldnt recommend cutting a flywheel unless there was a slight edge or slightly uneven.

Unless it's really messed up or old, sand paper should be fine. I did and it's been good for the last 3 years. My ACT clutch grips just as good as when it was new.

But see turning the flywheel at a shop gets an even surface that you want, unlike you can do by hand with sandpaper. Not saying it won't work or help some but its not like getting it resurfaced.

have it resurfaced the right way to ensure precision.

yes, I would go relatively easy on it at first as it is contacting virgin metal and you want it to "age"
