That would be "weak" point, not week point. And, no the bearing is not
pressed onto a weak point. Don't be nervous. It'll be fine.

The "C" clip regularly kills people driving Fords and Chevy, too.

Well, the bearing -race- will not come off once pressed on (unless pressed
off). But if not lubricated frequently, the bearings will seize up. The
bearing race will still be on the axle as slides out of the axle shaft.
You'll be sitting on the road at an angle with your tire and axle sitting
beside you, waiting for a tow truck.

After that little experience, I re-pack my bearings every other year.

Yes, but before it get to that stage, it'll be making enough noise
to put a police siren to shame.
