You DO need a chain whip to remove a correctly tightened lockring. It shouldn't be uber-tight but at least a few notches with an adjustable spanner, after taking up the initial slack, by hand.
Tried to fit new cassette last night on to brand new wheel, with spacer as recommended for 7 speed cassette.
Cassette is still not firmly attached even with the lockring done up tightly.
Is a second spacer the answer?
The rest position on the smallest sprocket should be not far off if it spaces correctly toward the locknut end of the freehub body but I would err on the side of caution and index from scratch.
