Reassemble Front End

Where can I find a blowup of all the parts?

Les Andrews Red book has some pictures.

Page 150 of the Bert's Model A Store 2026 catalogue shows the front brake/spindle/steering gear complex, as well as its relationship to the front axle. You can get the same picture, perhaps in a bit better resolution, from MAFCA as part of their Model A Ford Shop Drawings collection.

A hint - taking a bunch of pictures as you take things apart really makes reassembly much easier.

Service bulletins have some good illustrations. I use the Digital set on a CD from Dave Graham-Auto Literature, Inc. Brake parts and linkages are also a part of the assembly. The radius rod, axle, spindles. spring perches, spring, and shackles are the main parts of the assembly. The stuff I always wanted to know was proper orientation of the king pin pieces and their lock bolts, the grease fitting orientations, as well as putting all the brake parts back together.

rotowrench: what would I google to get that?

Try "The Model A Front End" . There is a PDF file on one site that has 8-pages with decent illustrations. There are also a few you-tube videos but most are either questionable or modified for hot rods. Also try googling model A spindle diagrams for more specific info. It seems like I can femember running into a few decent diagrams or cut aways.
