Fiinally had the courage to take it apart and access the three bolts on the table lip, loosening them slightly and tapping the table lip until it was level with the outfeed.

It took 3 1/2 hours but it worked and I have the satisfaction of having taken my jointer apart and getting it back together.

I took the cutterhead off towards the inside after removing the blade guard, rear panel, belt and belt guard and the fence assembly. It is awkward to handle the cutterhead and I had a little difficulty getting it back in place as it was hard to pick up the outboard end. Next time I might take out the knives to be on the safe side but hopefully there won't be a next time unless I decide to replace the head with a helical one.

I'd be interested to here about getting a helical head...cost, where to buy, and the advantages.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help. I never would have tackled the job without your help.
