Pull the axle and find out the condition of your inner and outer seals.
Chances are, both are bad.
You'll probably need new pads too.

I have heard that you can bake the grease off them in the oven, never tried it myself.

Yes, I have heard that you put the shoes in the oven and bake the grease off, I am not sure if it works or the temp, just heard that it works.
