10
Inspect the main gear shaft supplied with Stage 37.
You will see it has a ‘collar’ near the center of the
shaft, and that this divides the shaft into a longer
and shorter end.
Place the longer end of
the main gear shaft into
the front of the center and
main gear assembly, as
shown by the arrow.
11
Pull through from the
back so that the parts are
flush with each other, then
use masking tape to hold
the shaft in place.
13
Slide the shaft into the
gear so that the collar
rests against the 1480 ball
bearing.
12
Check that your assembly
matches the one in the
photo, and that the tape is
holding the parts in place
securely.
14
Assembled parts

1
Place the center gear
mount front flat on your
work surface, as shown. The
center gear mount front and
back parts look very similar,
so make absolutely sure
you select the front part.
Place one of the 3 × 12mm
binding-head screws into
the first hole, as shown.
2
Turn the screw with a
screwdriver, making sure the
screw enters the gear mount
perfectly straight. When you
feel the screw reach the far
side of the mount, carefully
remove the screw, again
making sure to keep the
screw straight.
3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for
the other hole, so that both
holes are left with the screw's
indentations, forming the
'tapped' inside (see circles).
4
Remove the masking tape
from the main gear assembly
built in Stage 38.
5
Insert the tip of the main
gear shaft into the hole
in the underside of the
center gear mount back,
following the arrow.
6
Next, re-familiarize yourself
with the proportions of the
center gear assembly built in
Stage 37. The left side is thicker
and the right side is thinner.
7
Making sure not to dislodge
the main gear, place the
center gear assembly into
the second hole on the
underside of the gear mount,
as shown.
8
Adjust until the teeth of the
center gear engage fully
with those of the main gear
(circled). Make sure not to
force the parts, as this may
damage the teeth. Once
engaged, ensure the center
gear is sitting straight.
179

12
It is very important that
the parts fit together
snugly, so check closely
against the photo to
make sure that your
assembly looks exactly
like this.
Place the 3 × 3mm set
screw onto the tip of the
Allen key, and apply a little
thread-locking agent (or
rubber-based adhesive).
13
Inspect the cam section of
the brake cam (pictured) –
there is one short side and
one long side.
™
15
Hold the brake cam level,
as shown, and carefully
insert the set screw. Make
sure that the set screw is
in perfectly straight, then
tighten by two rotations.

24
HUMMER H1: STEP BY STEP
™
Holding the assembly in
your hand, as shown in
the photo, insert two 3 ×
12mm self-tapping screws
into the holes at the top
corners. Again, do not
fully tighten yet.
25
Once the two 3 × 12mm
screws, and the four 3
× 18mm screws are in,
tighten each fully with a
screwdriver.
26
27
28
29
Push the brake cam rod through the hole in
the shaft of the brake cam protruding from
the gear cover.
Adjust the rod so that the straight end
sits 1mm away from the side of the raised
section of the gear case, and the looped end
is facing upward, as shown.
Use the 1.5mm Allen key to tighten the set
screw fitted in Step 14 until it presses down
on the rod, stopping it from moving.
Check that the brake cam
is able to rotate by turning
the brake cam rod from
side to side.
30
Check that the gears are
able to rotate freely inside
the mount casing by
turning the center gear's
cup joint. It does not
matter if the parts catch a
little bit at this stage.
