If this is a US Beetle, it doesn't have swingarms. In 1969, Volkswagen changed to independent rear suspension.

Remove wheel. Remove brake caliber. Remove axle nut and brake rotor.

The swing arm should fall down with a tap of hammer. This will give u enough room to remove axle from upper shock assembly. You can then remove and replace the cv boot that will be held on with two hog nose rings. Reverse process to put nack together.
