No, they are all like that. They all just drop in. You don't have to do anything. The reason those things go bad is that there is a snap ring and shims to tighten the wheel bearings. Lots of guys running on asphalt or hard packed stone all day will really put a bruising on them, and never re-shim the hubs. Then it wears them out.
Don't be alarmed. When you get the bearings shimmed correctly, there is no worries.
I've done a whole bunch of those. The other big thing with those machines is that the chain cases bend where the rear hubs attach and then the hubs ride crooked and it wears out the chains. Torches and a small ram on a port-a-power and about 6 hours takes care of that.
It's also a good idea to slather the bottoms of the studs with grease before you slide the hub on. That's a big rust problem area on those machines when they get older.
