Binding front hub

Hello all
I have an 2009 GT Avalanche 2.0 mountain bike. The front hub started to bind a bit a few weeks ago, so I added some wd40 which worked OK until now. Last night it bound up quite bad, and I noticed what looks like aluminum shavings as well caught in the oil around the hub. The central shaft actualy unwound by itself, opeing the quick release, by itself, to the binding point.
The hub has the brand "Formula" printed on it, and the rim is '26" - Jalco 6061 - AX430'
The local bike shop is a bit of a pain to deal with, so would prefer to do it myself. Unless it requires a lot of hassle and specialized tools.
Here's a video:

Any idea where to start???

Thank you!
