It is advantageous to have an edge protector that is readily removed and replaced without having to remove additional elements. In the subject arrangement, a base edge protector assembly is included having a protector mounting lug and a replaceable lip protector. The protector mounting lug has a pair of spaced apart bosses and a laterally disposed flange therebetween while the lip protector has a cavity and load transferring surfaces located in the cavity. When assembled the load transferring surfaces are in mating contact with the laterally disposed flange of the protector mounting lug. First and second pairs of aligned openings are located in the lip protector and, when assembled, are in general alignment with the openings located in each boss of the pair of bosses. Flex pins are disposed in the openings to secure the lip protector to the protector mounting lug. This arrangement provides a lip protector that is easily removed and replaced without the need to remove any other elements.
