Normally you just replace the inner hub seal and possibly the race if it
is grooved. Oil on LR brake shoes is almost always getting past the
inner hub oil seal.
>Are there some good techniques to extract this shaft?
Normally the axles just slide out. It could be the axle is just starting
to twist. When you get it out check it carefully. If the axle has been
on for more than 40K miles or if you have been using the LR hard it may
be time to replace the pair of axles.
If you can not wiggle it & have it come free try removing the other axle
and use a long metal rod and a hammer to push the stuck axle out. This
is a technique used when the axle breaks towards the middle and a longish
piece is stuck in the spider gears.
