Help with jointer

First step for getting the nuts loose is to flush them with pb blaster or liquid wrench and let it soak in a day or so adding more at intervals. If you can’t turn them with a wrench, you may have to go to an impact wrench or some method of tapping on them while turning. Finally there is heat, and or a nut splitter if all else fails. I refurbed a stationary sander last year and had some frozen bolts. Got all but one and had to drill it out and put in a helicoil.

Are you referring to the bolts that secure the blades in place? If so they are most likely left hand thread. As stated above use some PB Blaster or Kroil and let it soak.

I put up the Delta doc for the alignment procedure in PDF form here for someone else here that got a DJ-20 but it’s for the DJ-15 also.
