You can buy the shop manual on CD rom at ebay for $9.99.
Just do a find on ford excursion and look through the items. I think it is on the first of two pages.

How did you find that out? I have one also and it has Ford Motor Co. and the logo on the label.. But anyone could have made the label.

I have not run into this situation but "rebuilding" the caliper is pretty straight forward. If you need some simple directions, I'll be happy to list out the procedure. Or you may private message me if you'd rather. (It's the second icon from the left under my name...)
BTW, could you explain "froze up"?

I did. Sorry that I haven't replied yet. I've been down with the flu.
Remove caliper from truck.
Make sure you have a new crush washer & banjo bolt to replace the one you took off. (Some say no need to replace, I feel better safe than sorry when it comes to brakes.)
You'll need compressed air to "force" the piston(s) out.
Get a small block of wood and plut it where the non-moving pad was.
Apply some air pressure to get the pistons out. (Be careful)
Once out, either replace with new or clean with a rag. Do not use sandpaper. Emery cloth should work. Clean the inside of the caliper where the piston(s) just came out the same way.
USING NEW seals, re-install in the reverse order.
An old brake pad or the block of wood, along with either a large C-clamp or brake pad tool, will assist you in reseating the piston(s).
I have, before, "primed" the caliper with brake fluid. meaning filling it up prior to putting the pistons back in, as best i could. (you'll spill some) This makes bleeding a much simpler affair.
There are a few things that I'm sure I'm leaving out. Seeing how I'm at work and I should be working...If anyone can add something, PLEASE DO!!
