TR2/3/3A SU carb stuck dampener stuck in hole

Well the dampener rod is caught somehow in the piston. The only thing I can think of is the little keeper became unhooked and is somehow trapping the rod. Maybe the spring somehow got caught in the piston. the piston slides on the rod about a 1/2 inch

I tried getting a tool inside through the hole where the oil goes, but because the rod only moves about a ½ inch there is no way to get a tool in the hole to the bottom and push whatever is caught at the bottom out of the way.

Any ideas???? I hate to cut the rod
