I dont feel like starting a new thread but.......

Can i just take some high grit sand paper to the flywheel to knock the rust off of it??? i did on one little spot and its shiney under neath all the rust and dosnt have any pitting....is this ok to do or should i take it off and get it resurfaced by a shop??
