Answer
The rotors bolt onto the back side of the wheel hub.  You cannot remove them without removing the wheel hub itself.  You'll need either a wheel hub puller or a slide hammer with a wheel hub adaptor to get the wheel hub off.

To replace a rotor:
1.  Block the rear wheels.
2.  Jack the front wheel in question.
3.  Remove the wheel.
4.  Unbolt the caliper from the knuckle.
5.  Remove the cotter pin from the axle nut.
6.  Remove the axle nut and washer.
7.  Remove the wheel hub.
8.  Remove the rotor from the wheel hub.
9.  Bolt the new rotor onto the wheel hub.
10.  Reinstall the wheel hub, using the axle nut to draw it into the bearing.
11.  Remove the axle nut, and install the washer and axle nut.
12.  Install a new cotter pin in the axle nut.
13.  Reattach the caliper.
14.  Reinstall the wheel.
15.  Lower the vehicle.
