If your rotors use a spider, then make a sanding block from a paint stirring stick or similar, or carefully work the rotor with the edge of the rubber block. Before you get started, realize that brake rotors can become as sharp as a knife on the edges of the braking surfaces and also the connecting spokes. Be careful.
