Abstract
A fastening system can include a clamp configured to engage profiles formed in respective legs of a wear component, a wedge having a face configured to engage the clamp, and another face being configured to engage a surface of an opening formed through a lip, an externally threaded member rotatable by a shaft, and a biasing device that exerts an axially biasing force against the threaded member. A method can include positioning a wear component on a lip, installing a clamp into an opening formed through the lip, engaging surfaces of the clamp with profiles formed in legs of a wear component, installing a wedge into the opening, a face of the wedge engaging the clamp and an opposing face of the wedge engaging a surface of the opening, and rotating a shaft, thereby compressing a biasing device and exerting a biasing force that biases the wedge into the opening.
