I had such a car and I did the rear brakes in the above time, while sitting on my workchair and the car on jackstands. Even replacing the bearings is easy as chips - and when removing the drum I never even bothered to remove lug bolts, undo the cotter pin remove castle nut and pull wheel out complete with drum attached. Replace bearings at your ease too.
4 HOURS??? wow they had to take naps while doing such work?

right? he showed me 4 hours and I just stood there for a while wondering what in the hell.
I think they arrived at that number adding up the book time for everything in the rear brake assembly done separately. Only way I can think of they came up with 4 hours.
It took me half that time to fully install the 85 engine for petes sake. these old vws aren't called lego cars for nothing
