How much space do I need to be able to remove halfshaft if needed beside the vehicle ?
Reason I ask is it will be parked on the drive next to the house and I won't be able to move it when I start so need to make sure I have enough room.

Cheers, I knew that was going to be the answer lol.
Haynes manual says that the drive member & halfshaft come out as 1 assembly.
RAVE manual seems to contradict this.
Do I need to remove the halfshaft to replace the oil seal ?

Had the same problem a few weeks back. Mechanic sorted it (now it's leaking again though). Here's the itemised list on the invoice, in case you're wondering about parts:
Gasket axle
Hock washer
Seal hub axle
His handwriting is hard to read, so some of that might be wrong.

unless early defender,inner hub seal isnt an oil seal,its a grease seal ,either outer seal stops oil or seal in stub axle ,checking breather is a must in any case

It's a 1986 90 James with rear drums.
I replaced the axle breather a couple of weeks ago so wouldn't think that's the problem.
I will check the other bits cheers
