Because of my inexperience,I'm a woodworker, I detroyed my clutch on my '51 GMC 1/2 ton. It had was frozen to the flywheel and it blew apart in the process of unsticking it.
Anyway here is my question the pressure plate has a few small gouges . It is a new pressure plate with less than 50 mileson it. Can I sand out the rough spots and reuse it?

Also does anyone know if the pilot bearing is the same for a GMC as it is for a Chevy?
Thanks

If you sand out the spots, you will have uneven wear on the surface and the clutch will be chattery. Either get it machined or install it as-is and let the new clutch wear it down evenly.
