My advice- Don’t hit ANYTHING with a hammer, keep looking, there’s probably a stop screw or a pin to prevent the table falling out. The advice about spraying thin lubricant and such is spot on, keep spraying and wiggling until lots of black gunk starts coming out, then keep spraying snd wiggling some more. Be patient.

That was dumb. Hope I didn't damage the end of the rod.
What I can't figure out, though, is that if the end of the rod is loose then why won't the table come off? It has to be more than just friction. Maybe the rod can't come out any further and the handle itself has to be removed to allow the table to come off
there's no wiggle. The infeed table wiggles. The outfeed doesn't. I've looked in and under it. The only thing I can think of is the handle itself

The handle and it's shaft is attached to the table, then the shaft runs through a threaded block which is attachéd to the base of the machine. The reason that the outfeed table is so tight most likely Is because it never gets moved, at all. once it's set to the height of the knives, that's it. if the adjustment wheel and it's shaft are engaged, then keep spraying down the dovetails, and keep moving it, even a little bit per hour is enough, while you're doing other things, then have another go in an hour's time. it could take a week to free up.

I have removed the jointer from the base, and laid it out on my lawn and gave it a good shake. I've removed all the loose debris and as much caked on gunk as I can reach. I'd like to give it a better clean, but I don't have an air compressor. Is it ok if I hit it with a high pressure hose, if I dry it and hit it with WD40 immediately after?
There's no evidence of any more bolts or pins. Looks like that's it for this piece of machinery. Only thing I can do now is clean it and hope penetrating oil makes it move. My Liquid Wrench came in the mail during the week btw.

Looking at the diagram I linked to, and looking at the adjustment without the handle on your unit, the pin knocks out, you undo the grub screw and take off the collar and maybe the table will slide out over the adjusting rod?

I removed the ball handle pin, and that didn't result in me being able to remove the handle. I'm not sure whether the thread had to be held in place with vice grips while I rip the handle off. It's the same thing with the infeed table without the ball handle.
I think I'm going down a rabbithole here. It's not logical to me that the handle has to be removed for the table to slide out when the thread has already disengaged from the sleeve. The table, handle and thread should be one piece.
Can anyone advise whether washing with a garden hose is okay? It's the only way I have to blast it with high pressure, but I don't want to cause rust.

Would you be able to point out which diagram indicates that? I've been looking at this diagram of the handle, and it's not clear.
The only thing I get from this is that bolt at the bottom is replaced with that irremovable round thing in my unit. Still, as the thread is disengaged, theoretically there's nothing else holding the table in place other than friction.

Unfortunately I don't think that is a diagram of your unit so it won't help.
What are the 2 round shafts for that we can see in the upside down shots in post 37?
Squirting it with a hose won't hurt it so long as you do what you say and give it a good spray with WD40 soon after the wash, both the moving table slides and the table tops but generally over everything. No sure if the hose will help much.

I wouldn't put the hose on it. Can you tap the gib out. Could try using a bit of hard wood that is a slightly under the size of the gib
