I think that the keeper opposite the mounting post is a Torx (sometimes called a star). Can't remember the size, those sets of 3/8 drive work ok for this. Tip - if you round out the screw you can drill it out, it's very soft metal, take the 10mm post out and note the bevel and the size of the hole, that is your target, get a drill bit that approximates the center, you do NOT have to drill the entire thing, just the center of it that would cover the hole where the post is. Put the 10mm post back while you drill, you will end up having the flange of the screw spin off and be on the drill bit, time to stop. remove the 10mm post. remove the rotor. there will be a stub of the post in the hub and it usually is finger tight now as no strech force, at worst a pair of visegrips will do it.
TORX or star
