Abstract: A self-retaining wear-pad leveler has a first plate having arms on opposing sides and forming an aperture through the first plate. A rear section is coupled to a rear portion of the first plate and has tabs extending from opposing sides of the rear section. The arms are configured for being retained about a ball of a spherical bearing assembly, and the tabs are configured to cause rotation of the leveler about the bearing when engaged by a component coupled to and rotating about the bearing.

Abstract: An adjustable length crank arm includes a first component having a longitudinal length, a second component coupled to the first component, the second component having a longitudinal length. A total length of the crank arm can be adjusted by changing an amount of longitudinal overlap that exists between the first component and the second component. The adjustable length crank arm can include a first wedge and a second wedge and at least a portion of each of the first wedge and the second wedge is longitudinally captured between the first component and the second component.
