Got a 988 loader with worn brakes, I know they have bladders inside - is it possible to change bladders and pads without removing the wheel and hub?
On a 988a no it's a in bore brake drum it's some work but it's not tier 4 lol
And while you are changing the pads make sure the steel plates are still attached to the bladder and that you install the new pads so they are in the right place to protect the bladder.
Oh and don't cheap out replace all those springs! If one breaks and punctures the bladder you have wasted a lot of time and now need new pads again!
I do have an old service manual for 988A's so if needed I could scan in some pages if that would help.
Thankyou for the reply - not quite sure if we're on the same page, my brakes are the bladder type. Still learning about this aged loader (as it's older than me!!) but thought that the 988 and 988A were different models? I thought the 988A were the first of the
The 988B went to outboard wet disc brakes ,no such thing as a 988A .

Well if you mean one that says 988A on the cover you'd be right!I'm going to bet 10 bucks you don't have a 988A service book.
