You should take the inner end out first - or at least crack the torque
on the bolts first.  You really need the brake caliper in place to
be able to use the brakes to resist the torque you need to apply.

The tool you need is an M10 triple-square.  See other replies.

Using an Allen driver implies you don't have access to any proper
documentation on this job.  I strongly recommend you obtain some before
proceeding.
