Problem with my 28-80 AF Nikkor

I have an AF AI 28-80 Nikor (no internal motor) lens. This is one with an aperture ring. Probably the earliest plastic model.

I accidentally dropped it the other day and now although everything still seems to work properly and all the movements are very easy and smooth, the focus ring won't quite travel far enough for a focus lock for something at infinity. I've been using this lens since I dropped it just fine with happy snaps of people and such, and yesterday was the first time it needed to go to infinity.

I had a Tokina lens adjusted for free by a guy who sold it to me in that same condition and he fixed it perfectly. My question is, where is the adjustment for that? As an electronic technician and used to taking things apart, I'd like to tackle that. Any ideas?
