Sounds like you took the nuts off that hold the brake backing plate to the spindle. Take the dustcap off on the outside of the hub and remove the cotter key and then the big nut that holds the bearings. Then slide the hub off the spindle. That'll get you to the brakes and those bolts you loosened. Gotta say though, they just flat ain't making Modle A Ford axles anymore. I understand you like the wires, and sometimes a guy needs to make do with what's laying around....but I'd bet you could sell that axle and original model A wire rims to a restorer for more than enough to buy a regular trailer axle and whatever kind of rims you want to put on it. Seen just a set of rims go on ebay a few weeks back for about $150.
I just pulled apart an old farm wagon with '36 Ford axles under it- gonna be a moneymaker for sure. Also, those Model A wire rims are liable to be 16 inchers.....that'll take darn narrow tires. Be sure, if you follow your original plan, that you can get tires for your rims. Whichever way you go- it's yours, good luck!
