2000/2001 Ford Escort Brake Rotor?

I've doing a brake job on my Ford Escort, and since I've never worked on fords before I ended up having a question with the rotor:

Where are the lugs that hold on the rotor? I can see several bolts on the backside of the assembly, but I'm pretty sure only 2 of them are the ones I actually want. I'm pretty sure I don't have to break off the axel bolt, but it's a possibility at this point. I could always break off everything then re-assemble, but it's way easier to remove the correct bolts and save an hour's extra work.

I've already pulled off the caliper, so that's out of the way.

If anyone has a pic of the lugs I need to break out that would be awsome, otherwise a good, detailed descritpion of their location would be helpful.

Thanks.

Update:

I've been wailing on the thing all morning with a hammer. Are you sure there aren't any bolts I need to remove? I've even doused the thing with PB blaster and it won't budge.

    they are not bolted on, you need to pull them off. Chances are you need a bigger hammer to knock them loose.
