This is the front of the rear chassis plate. Note that none of the
holes on this side are countersunk.
Turn the parts over, holding them together carefully to prevent
the assembly slipping. Check that the holes are properly aligned.
Insert one of the 4 × 16mm countersunk screws into one of the
four holes you lined up in the previous two steps.
Make a note of which
chassis plate is which,
by laying them next
to each other on your
work surface. The front
plate is the smaller of
the two. As you will be
assembling the rear
chassis in this session,
store the front plate
away safely for now.
Take a closer look at the rear chassis plate – you will see that its
front and back surfaces are dierent. On the back, shown here,
some of the holes are countersunk (see red circle). This is to
allow the heads of the countersunk screws to sit ush with the
surface of the plate once they are screwed in.
Hold the rear chassis plate with the front facing upwards in
one hand, and with the other line up the rear bulkhead you
assembled in Stage 16. Line up the holes shown by the arrows.

This stage is complete. Store the parts
away safely, resting both chassis plates at
during storage to lower the risk of their
becoming bent out of shape.

Tighten with a screwdriver, but
do not screw in all the way.
Tighten with a screwdriver, again without too much force.
Check that the chassis plate is secure and does not rattle or
move, but that the screws are not too rmly tightened.
Insert another screw into the hole diagonally opposite.
Repeat with the remaining two screws.
From the front, your
assembly should look
like this. Note the
positioning of the holes
on the plate.
Tip!
You will notice that the screws
do not sit ush with the plate.
This is because other parts will
be added in later stages. Do not
overtighten the screws as this
may deform the holes and create
problems in the future.

Line up the front chassis supplied with Stage 21 to the main
chassis. On both chassis plates, the side with the countersunk
holes should face upwards. Line up the holes as arrowed.
The screw will go right through both holes so that its
countersunk head sits ush with the plate’s surface. At this
stage, the screw is still moving freely within the hole.
Make a note of the shape of the 3mm ange nuts you will use
to secure the chassis plate. The back side is set with ridges that
bite into the surface of the plate for a stronger hold.
Make a note of which side of the
middle chassis is which, as they are
dierent to one another. Some of
the holes on the back of the plate
are countersunk, and the edges of
the front are angled upwards.
Insert a 3 × 10mm countersunk screw through the central hole
on the front chassis and into the hole on the middle chassis.
Both edges are angled upwards.
Holes on the front are not countersunk.
Holes on the back are countersunk.

Using masking tape
As at this stage the screws are not secured, it is
useful to hold them in place with masking tape
until the ange nuts are added in the next few
stages. This way, all ve screws can be positioned
at the same time without the risk of any falling
out.
With the tape holding the screws in
place, it is safe to move the assembly.
Place masking tape across the screws
once they are inserted.

As you did in Stage 6,
tighten the ange nut
onto the protruding tip of
the screw by hand.
Next, position the middle
chassis so its back is facing
upwards, and line up the
holes arrowed with those
on the rear chassis you
attached to the bulkhead
in Stage 21.
Repeat until all ve sets of
screws and ange nuts are
tted.
Place another 3 × 10mm
countersunk screw into
the central hole of the
rear chassis. Make sure the
side with the countersunk
holes is facing you.

Turn the assembly so that
the front of the middle
chassis is facing upwards.
Holding the screw head
from behind to keep it
in place (using masking
tape will help this, see box
on page 99), t a 3mm
ange nut onto the end of
the screw and tighten by
hand.
Line up the side of the
crosswrench supplied with
Stage 8 marked '5.5' with
one of the ange nuts, as
arrowed.
Once the rst ange nut is
tightened by hand, line up
the next screw from the
back side of the chassis.
Hold the crosswrench over
the ange nut to stop it
from moving, and begin
to tighten the screws from
the other side, this time
using a screwdriver. Turn
until the hold is rm, and
repeat for all ve sets of
screws and ange nuts.

Tip!
Wet the protruding tip of the screw
with a little thread-locking adhesive
to further secure the hold.

Once the rst ange nut
is tightened by hand,
continue to line up the
next screw from the back
side of the chassis plate.
Next, prepare the rear
torque rod that was
supplied with Stage 8, two
4 × 10mm binding-head
screws and two 3 × 10mm
countersunk screws.
Fit the next ange nut,
again only tightening it by
hand.
Position the rear torque
rod as pictured, so as to
connect the rear bulkhead
to the chassis.

The screw will go right through both holes so that its
countersunk head sits ush with the surface. At this stage, the
screw is not tightened, so hold it in place carefully.
Repeat until all ve sets of
screws and ange nuts are
in place.
Rotate the chassis and tighten a ange nut by hand onto the
tip of the screw, as you did in Stage 6.
As you did in Stage 11,
rmly tighten each set of
screws and ange nuts by

the chassis of your Hummer H1
is begining to take shape. Store
away safely until next time.
Insert one of the 4 × 10mm binding-head screws into the hole on
the torque rod (see arrow).
Repeat Steps 22 and 23 with the other
binding-head screw.
Tighten with a screwdriver. Repeat with
the second screw.
Tighten with a screwdriver.
Turn the assembly upside down, and
locate the two holes just ahead of the
joint between the rear and middle chassis
plates, circled. The countersunk holes
should be facing you.
Insert a 3 × 10mm countersunk screw into
one of the holes, making sure it is lined up
with one of the holes on the end of the
torque rod behind.

Place the 1510 ball bearing onto the cylindrical segment of the
dierential case, making sure it is on straight.
Apply a little of the grease you kept from Stage 11 to the tip of
a toothpick.
Now apply some grease
to the thin end of the
dierential cup joint.
Use the photo to gauge
a suitable amount.
Turn the joint from right
to left to spread the
grease. If grease builds
up between the ball
bearing and the case,
wipe it with tissue paper.
Insert the greased end
of the joint into the
case, as shown.
Turn the dierential
case around, and using
tweezers, place the 6mm
O-ring over the tip of the
joint inside.
Using both thumbs, push down on the ball bearing evenly,
being careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could
damage the ball bearing.
Using the toothpick, spread the grease around the groove on
the inside of the dierential case, as shown. Use just enough so
that the groove shines slightly.

Part the tweezers slightly, and gently push the O-ring down into
the groove at the base of the joint.
Your assembly should look like this, with equal parts of the
metal pin visible on each side of the joint.
Using tweezers, carefully line up the 2.5 × 10.3mm metal pin
with the hole drilled through the dierential joint.
Make a note of the rectangular groove in the back of the 20T
dierential bevel. The metal pin you tted in Stage 10 will sit
inside this once tted.
Next, place the 6 × 12mm shim over the shaft so that it rests
at the base, covering the O-ring. It does not matter which way
round the shim goes.
Liberally apply grease to the inside of the dierential case,
covering the shim and joint.
Carefully insert the metal pin through the hole with the
tweezers, as shown. Using the recesses cut into the inside of the
dierential case will allow you more space to position the pin.
Slide the bevel over the tip of the joint so that the groove on
the back lines up with the metal pin.

Press the bevel into place with your nger.
Liberally apply grease to the inside of the dierential case, but
do not nish the bag of grease, as you will need it in future
stages.
With the 10T bevels together as shown in the photo, place the
bevel shaft into the dierential case. The ends of the bevel shaft
should t into the recesses in the side of the case.
Slide each of the 10T bevels onto the bevel shaft, so that they
are facing each other.
Holding the dierential case steady, slowly turn the joint from
the back to distribute the grease evenly among the moving
parts.
The rst half of
your Hummer H1's
front dierential
is complete. Your
assembly should
look like this.
Once in place, slide the two 10T bevels apart as far as they will
go. At this point, they should slot neatly into place with the
teeth of the 20T bevel beneath.
It is very important that you store the
parts assembled in this session away
from any dirt or dust, as this will stick
to the grease and get inside the
dierential, casuing problems
for the moving
parts within. If
possible, keep
your assembly and
grease in a sealed
plastic bag.

Make a note of the shape and orientation of the upper and
lower bulkheads. The inside of the lower bulkhead has a at
surface, marked in the photo.
Make sure the ball bearing is sitting ush with the bevel.
Your assembly should look like this, with the dierential case
sitting snugly into the lower bulkhead, and the right and left
ball bearings resting in the cylindrical recesses on either side
(circled).
Place the assembled driveshaft into the recess at the back of
the lower bulkhead (arrowed).
Place the dierential you assembled in Stage 24 carefully into
the lower bulkhead, with the ring gear on the right side of the
bulkhead.
Now slide the second 1680 ball bearing over the driveshaft until
it rests in the middle, leaving a gap between it and the rst.
Slide one of the 1680 ball bearings over the driveshaft so that it
rests against the back of the pre-tted 13T bevel gear.
The driveshaft should sit so that the ridge in the recess
separates the two ball bearings, and the teeth of the 13T bevel
engage those of the 43 ring gear.
