There should be two small tapered-head bolts holding it on. They are between the wheel studs. You may need a hand impact driver to get those loose. Those two bolts can be discarded. They are only there to prevent the rotors from falling off when the vehicle is flipped over on the assembly line.

The holes in the rotor are threaded. Use a pair of metric bolts to thread into those two holes. The bolts will be larger in diameter than those you removed. As you run them in, they will push the rotor off the hub. There is very little chance you will get that style of rotor off without using those bolts. The two bolts make the job easy.
