I picked up a Delta 34-670 TS. The blade is way out of alignment with the miter slot and fence (.046 accross the blade). The trunnion bolts are are to get at. It looks like it might be easier to disassemble the saw to work on just the top. Does anyone have any words of wisdom in moving the saw into alignment? Is there an easier adjustment where the motor and connects to the trunnions?

Here is the answer to my own question. There are four bolts all near each other at the front of the saw. Two can be reached from underneath with a socket wrench. The third can be loosed through the throat plate with the blade removed with a open end wrench. The fourth can be left tight and used a pivot to allow the saw to be tapped into alignment with tap on a block of wood through the throat plate.
There is a very specific way to adjust a contractor saw....and it requires a lot of screwing around.
Go here for those instructions;
