Sanding Down Rotors. Over time, brake rotors can develop. To resurface rotors with sandpaper, you will need a jack and jack stands, a lug wrench, a torque wrench, a wire brush, brake cleaner, a micrometer, and of course, the appropriate sandpaper for rotor resurfacing. This is something you can do without having to resurface the rotors. Sanding doesn't remove contamination, it moves the contamination around the rotor and into the newly roughened surface. You can also use roll lock discs to do the cleaning. Sanding knocks off the sharp peaks on the surface of the rotor and generally improves the surface finish by 15 to 20 microinches (the smoother the better, right?). But while installing a brand new rotor, it is almost obvious to sand brake rotors. Scrubbed the rotor and pads with steel wool and soap. Sanded the rotor and pads with a medium grit sanding block. These two items will get your rotor clean and smooth without having to do the actual job of resurfacing. Rotors can be sanded in various ways. Finished with brake cleaner surface clean. Use the sandpaper to get the surface clean and free of excess material. People may tell you that sanding the brake rotor is unnecessary.
