How to replace a rear axle seal on a VW

This week we take care of a leaky axle seal on the Riviera camper. An easy job if you know the tricks, which I show you here! I also show you how to drain and fill the reduction boxes to keep everything nice and lubed.

    Video couldn't have been better. Great job explaining everything and not going too fast. You took your time which was perfect. I have done this on my bug but not my bus and wouldn't have known about the spacer otherwise. Appreciate you.

    Just found your channel. Just subscribed. I'm doing a series on 72 super currently. I have 5 beetles and can't wait to add a type 2 to the channel. Keep up the good work.

    Thank you so much for showing all detail. I am making a video of my bus's axle leak repair. Could you allow me to use some part of your (this) video in my video, please. Thank you very much.

    I am getting ready to change my rear axle seal, i was wondering what oil and how much do i put in when im done. I picked up a 17mm allenwrench to take of top cap. I love the video and am looking forward to getting started. Bless

    nice vid, thanks...but MY seal carrier ( 66 beetle ) has no 'wall' to tap the seal up against, how do i know how far to put it? flush to the out side of the car? funny, ive DONE this job in the past and must have just been lucky, THIS time its leaking bad!

    Did anyone else notice that he used the wrong seal driver to drive in that seal ? You want to drive it in on the outside edge of the seal, not the inside edge !!

    What year is your Bus? I am working on a '66 and some videos have a spacer in the housing for the rear axle seal. Is that correct?

    Do you not need the large gasket around the large ring that came in the kit

    why you no new shoes. back brakes will be locking up after 100 mils even if you clean them the diff oil that trapped in the matrix of the shoe. will keep weeping out slowly causing brake fade
