   Every table saw I've ever seen lets you change the blade by undoing the arbor nut, and sliding the blade off the end of the arbor and up out of the table.  

   Umm.. is your problem that you can't undo the arbor nut?  Depending on how your saw is designed, the nut might be a left-handed thread, not the usual right-handed one.   Look carefully at the threads on the arbor shaft to see which direction to unscrew the nut.

   Thanks, but the nut came off easy... it just wouldn't clear the housing and the blade wouldn't slide out. We had to bend

   the blade to finally remove it. Now, problem is, I can't get

   the blade for cutting metal on. It's not flexible.

   I had a similar problem with mine until I found that by setting the blade over to 45^o it would clear the spindle and bottom housing.

   Thank you... that is probably what I need to do.. because once the

   nut is off, I still couldn't get it to clear the bottom spindle to

   slide out. Plus, the blade cover prevented me from lifting it at

   an angle to slide it out.
