Hope they replaced the hub nuts when they did they sorted the brakes.

It's common for the bearings to fall apart when you take them off. The inner race gets stuck to the stub axle and there is no way it will come off in one piece.
Total b******s, ive had my drums of 6 / 7 times over the years when doing the yearly brake clean / check & never once had the wheel bearing fall apart.
If things are looked after / serviced correctly you dont get a problem.
A lot of people the first time the drum gets removed is when something fails like the brake shoes

If the brake shoe delaminates, then often (a lot of) brute force is needed to remove the drum, since it all jams up inside.

i hope you get your problems sorted soon
