VW has the wheel bearings pressed in to the rear brake drum and it makes them a pain to deal with, a side effect is that the rear brake drums have to be replaced more often because the brake shoes wear out and score the drums beyond repair because the shoes were not inspected as often.
Other cars where the drums are held on by the wheel being held in place are easy to check the brakes when rotating tires or changing from summer to winter tires, so I could not imagine how annoying having the wheel bearings pressed in to the wheel would be.
