Don't do it, its bad for the flywheel.   Google will bring up lots of horror stories so no need to post mine.

I was talking to Steve (Rookie) yesterday and he also said it was a bad idea to machine the TJ flywheel, apparently it's a bit concave and not flat.
I'm just gonna clean it up and install the new clutch.

Thanks

Depends on the clutch you use. Some aftermarket clutchs are designed for a re-surfaced(flat) flywheel.

Most shops just use a palm sander with like 60 grit sandpiper and do not spend a lot of time maybe a minute or so get rid of the hotspots and glaze but do the whole surface.

That's pretty much what I have planned and I'll be installing an OEM Jeep clutch.

i dont think sandpaper will get rid of hot spots, you have to cut that crap off. It might look like its gone but it goes deeper than the surface.
Just saying

To have it done properly you don't "Machine" flywheels you have to have them ground.  Call Larry's transmission in the S.E.  They are just up the hill from modern.
