Default Can't Remove rear rotor

Hi All, trying to renew the rear pads and rotors on my 14 Silverado 1500
Caliper and rotor bracket both came off easy. For some reason I can't get
the rear rotor off. I don't see any screws on the rotors like the front did.
Don't know what Im doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Thanks

there should be a threaded hole on the face of the rotor where it meets the axle shaft. Find a matching size bolt about 1" long and smack it with an impact.

first ensure the parking brake ain't engaged
then i'd try a mallet around the edges
then ratchet in a bolt to drive it off the hub (had to do that with the H3 last year)
