The crush spacer / washer thing is a pain in the arse. These things exist not only on the rear wheel bearings but in differentials as well. To start a crush spacer /washer thing in my differential I needed to apply about 7 metric tons to get the bloody thing moving => I did that on a hydraulic press just by compressing - no turning of flimsy looking nuts
Once you get them to start deforming the nuts are easier to tighten - it is just climbing that first mountain - getting it to move. It sounds like your crush spacer / washer thing is still in its stubborn virgin state. This next suggestion is very risky - so use with caution - you might want to try to crush the bloody thing in a vice or something like that first and then install it. If you "pre" crush it too much however it might not even slide on the hub shaft again - and you need to make sure that you still have enough give in the crush thing so that there is enough tightness in the assembly so that the nut does not come loose.
