Ford F150 caliper stuck

This is a post to inform others about an issue I ran into recently on a 2012 F150. When checking for a brake noise in the front end I noticed that one wheel turned hard. After removing the caliper I found the pistons would not push back. After inspecting I noticed that there was a bracket on the brake hose. The bracket rusted and pinched off the hose.
