Leslie Henson:
The bolts are known as spline head bolts. 14mm ring spanner will undo them, but they will be mental tight. If the spanner slips, then you have little choice but to cut the heads off, remove the ball, and then unscrew the remains with a pair of mole grips. Stripping a front hub (Disco) right down to the axle casing is here, but it seems you are already almost there.
Filthy, yucky job it is as well.  :)

Good article that Les, well done mate.

Like Mike I too prefer the oil to seep onto my wheel bearings.

If you'd seen the state of my 110 Salisbury rear axle after being in a container with the sun beating down on one side I think you would want some oil in there.

Thanks to all for your comments, they have all been very helpful. the swivel balls look in good nick so i  won't be taken them off to change the seal as it seems by your comments that they oil leak maybe of help rather than causing a problem (it does get deep in the brown stuff whenever possible so maybe the oil will help)
  Les, I looked at your rebuild thanks very much excellent article.
