What he said... there's no need to split the caliper.
Undo the allen bolts on the slider pins, remove them, clean them and apply a little rubber brake grease. Ideally you should remove the carrier (two bolts holding it to the hub) and wire brush it so the new pads move freely. PS - if you have 17.5" brake discs then you have a seriously modified car.... all XC90 Mk1 have 331mm brakes in the UK.

You might need a big bar on your socket (15mm I think) to release the carrier bolt, often they are put in with locktite.
The sliders are star drive (T30?) - i've had to use a combination of sockets and keys as room is limited behind the wheel hub.

Slide pins are 7mm Allen/Hex
Don't undo the 4 torx and split the caliper. Use a strong hook or bungee to support the caliper whilst off.
