[Closed] Fox RP2 rebound adjuster won't go back in?

So today I thought I'd sort a few problems on the bike, instead I created one. I took off the cap from my fox air forks and cleaned all the grit and crap out, much smoother. Thought i'd do the same with the rear and noticed that the rebound adjuster would hardly move, I couldn't turn it at all! The bike is only 6 months old if that so took off the pro pedal switch, cleaned out a bit of grit but it still wouldn't move. Sprayed it with a bit of GT85, no good. So took out one of the grub screws on the side to see the red shaft, undid the top grub screw and pulled a bit, the whole adjuster came out! I think at this point a small bearing and spring came out, I didn't actually see but this is from what I've read. Found the tiny tiny bearing but no spring as of yet.

The adjuster goes back in but not quite fully, I now can't pull it out all the way either. There is about 10mm left where it needs to be pushed in more but can't do it at all. Any ideas??
Need to get this sorted, off to Wales next weekend

Really? I was fearing it would be a mojo job. Although it dosen't really seem like I've done much, I put it all back together and it works ok, the rebound is set to fastest though so not ideal. The pro pedal switch no longer flicks like it should but I guess it's not together as it should be.

God sake! Is there any chance it will be done under warranty since the rebound adjuster was jammed solid?

The nitrogen charge in the rebound circuit of the shock will have forced outwards the pin that the rebound knob moves when turned. I learnt that the hard way!

No option but to sent to Mojo/LoCo/TF Tuned for a service.

Next to no chance of warranty either as you clearly fiddled with it yourself rather than just send it straight off to get looked at.

Sorry.
