The spacer was there...I just figure the mechanic had some sort of air driven impact wrench and was thinking "hah...let's see her get this one off!"

I hadn't thought about grease...but the cassette was put on about 6 months ago and hasn't seen that much riding...but I suppose it could seize no matter the time or mileage.
Thanks for all the responses.
