The rotor is held to the hub by 2 phillips screws. You'll need an impact screwdriver to get them off. Do a search, there was a thread not too long ago showing how to change rotors.

Relevance is irrelevant
you don't actually need an impact. If you have a large hammer and a flat tipped punch you can break the screws loose. They will be frozen in there if the car is more than a year or two old... So don't just try to turn the screws with only a screwdriver.
Put the flat part of the punch against the screw and whack the sh!t out of it.
This trick will work for allen head screws that are stuck too. The impact causes whatever is stuck to come loose.
Although an impact screwdriver is professional way to do it.

those screw are to help you in removal, take the screw out and put then in the other holes and screw them in, the pressure with pop the rotors right off. I had a hard time with mine and i did this and they poped right off, piece of cake!
