How to stop Oil Leak from Axle - Part1 - VW Bus Swing Axle Seal change

[VW Swing Axle Seal Leaking] I got oil leak from rear left axle of my 1961 VW bus. The oil was dripping to the brake. So it was a big problem. I was new to classic VW world so I didn’t know how I could fix this problem. I learned about VW Bus Axle as I was dealing with this problem. I want to share with you what I learned. I hope this helps someone with similar problem.
