Hi Jim,
On the "Huck Brakes", the pins and springs go from the outside in through
the links with the lock behind.
You have the only Shop Manual ('42-'46) that I know of. The Master Parts
manual ('29-'47) clearly shows the components of the brake system in
exploded view verifying my statement above.
Did you rebuild or replace your cylinders??
