Wear pad

A wear pad system comprising:

• a stationary structure;
• a moving structure;
• a wear pad includes a wear pad surface on a top and a wear pad tapered surface on a bottom, a wear pad acute angle exists between said wear pad surface and said wear pad tapered surface, at least one threaded insert is retained in said wear pad;
• and
• an adjustment plate includes an adjustment plate tapered surface on a top and a support surface on a bottom, an adjustment plate acute angle exists between said support surface and said adjustment plate tapered surface, an adjustment slot is formed through substantially all of a length of said adjustment plate, said wear pad is positioned and secured on the stationary structure using only at least one threaded fastener engaged with said at least one threaded insert.
