There is a hole in the splined hub through which you extract the cotter pin.
You need a pair of needle nose pliers. Reach in through the end and
straighten the pin as much as you can, then pull through the hole. Repeat as
necessary. The hub and rotor are easier to separate after removal from the
car.

I need to remove the bolts as I am rebuilding the complete front end and
will be replacing the rotors. So, if the bolts don't ned to come off I just
fumble with the cotter pin through the splined hub?
