Subject:Swing axel

This is a bit off topic not the v-gon, but maybe some you have
feedback my type1 bug i spent most of the day under yesterday adjusting
the rear end, It's a pain the @@@ with the torsion bar and bushing getting
everything to line up more the bushings are not allowing me to install the arm
so its flush allowing the spring plate to line up. ( only one side )

now the question: the older swing axle rubber boot had a crack and tore up
moving the axel around, you know the one with all the screw fittings on it
older stytle kinda like a cv boot. This can be replaced without removing the
axle from the tranny? I know the older aircooled bro might have the same
setup

Its a swing axel only a boot on the inter-side near tranny.

man I'm sore its hard working on the ground for 6hrs and the bug you don't
have clearance, back buster.

Thanks all
drive safe and enjoy Friday
Joe
