I first trued up a pressure plate when I was in high school and had pretty minimal lathe experience. With the tool set up correctly, simply facing a part with no other machining is among the easiest things to do on a lathe. This is not rocket science by any means.
As Merk said, you want a flat surface perpendicular to the axis of the shaft...you'll get neither of those things with a belt sander.
