Re:
Replaceable.....same as the LX M570 freehub body and it may be actually cheaper to find a whole hub rather than buy the body. SJS always seem to have them in stock
Servicable...not sure, but likely to be full of springs, balls and pawls....the kind of thing you loose under the fridge

Re:
They were nice when new, but most don't have that 'HG50-run forever' quality. When one of mine got really noisy and had play, i replaced it with deore 510. like for like swap and had a more substantial feel to it. Some grease guards and spacers may need swapping around to get at all tucked in, easy job though!
Buy the whole hub if possible, then you get new bearings too.
m510 generally cheaper too/available.
other more moderne m5 numbers will be ok too.

Probably bigest trouble will be removing dustcap,so it can be reused. Once You have axle out, You need to undo bearing race/nut clockwise it is usualy very tight, once You loose it a bit, take old plastic laundry bowl and put wheel on it,so when ball bearings are dry,You catch them in bowl. Clean,inspect,(if damaged, buy new hub) regrease bearing races, put balls into grease and be sure to not to use sticky grease on pawls. I used little bit of some thick gearbox oil.Refit outer freehub body, place in correct order all washers which were under bearing race/nut and tighten it anti-clockwise as much as You can.
If Your freehub body have big play before you start dismantling, it is probably best to buy new hub right and save lot of time.
