When I put my spacers on the rear wheels were really hard to get off, had to give them a fair few hits with a rubber mallet.It is a locking wheel nut issue which I do not want to force, the VW dealer can do that but, some key shapes are better than others from my VW history.I use copper grease, i think using spacer or spigot rings without it is a school boy error which i have only done onceI think it’s to easy for garages to over tighten them with the air gun thingy - they should be torqued up by hand - but time is money I guess.
