I know you should need to, but I can only remove the stem on my carbon Columbus forks if I loosen the expander bung.

Yep, sounds plausible. Maybe they tightened the bung too much in the factory?

So you tighten the bung back up before re-fitting the stem? Presumably the stem is then tight on the steerer with the stem bolts loose? Isn't it then hard to adjust the bearing pre-load with the top cap?

In my case the stem moves around that on the fork, just not lift off, so preload isn’t an issue, I’m sure someone will be along in a minute to say I’m in store for certain death.
