The frame of the crusher jaw includes a support surface that provide a mounting location for the wear plates. The wear plates are identical members mounted in an end-to-end orientation and retained on the support surface of the crusher jaw frame. An end stop is located at a second end of the frame and engages the lower wear plate. A master wedge is mounted at the first end of the frame and engages the upper wear plate. An auxiliary wedge is positioned between the wear plates and is secured to the frame to support the wear plates during operation of the compact eccentric crusher. The wear plates can be released and removed from the frame upon wear by removing the master wedge and lifting the wear plates from the frame.
