Should you end up winding out all the preload during your changes don't leave the adjusters hard against the stop, wind it back in a fraction of a turn, the adjusters can get damaged and stuck over time if jammed hard at the end of adjustment.

Do you have a fork travel indicator fitted, a simple cable tie or a proper one, if not take a look at the dirt (if any) and marks on your forks left by the travel of the seals cleaning the tube. You want to be using at least 3/4 of the travel, if not the forks are too hard or the compression valving is too closed. If you are using more the question is how close to mechanical bottom are you and how much fork travel do you want to reserve for the unexpected.
With Ohlins mechanical bottom is normally about 5mm up from the bottom casting but can be accurately found by measuring the exposed tube at full extension and checking the full travel in the manual.
