   I went through this recently and found Howard Acheson's post in this thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?threadid=3526 , to be most helpful.

   You do not say if your saw is a contractor saw or a cabinet saw. I received several additional pointers in aligning my contractor saw when I ran into difficulty in getting the saw to actually move, the most helpful of which was to grab the motor and use it as a lever to move the trunnions which ever way they needed to go. I found that to be more effective than a hammer and a block of wood.

   Hope this helps.

   Do you mean you can't get the blade square to the table? It sounds like the problem may be getting the fence aligned with the blade, but there are likely more experts than I who can comment. I align my saw table by loosening the bolts and using a dead blow hammer to nudge it a bit.
