Steering spline spacer removal

Hello, I am having difficulty removing the steering spline spacer from the steering shaft on my sons 98 Jetta. We are replacing the ignition electrical switch and need to gain access to the retainer screw on the switch.
We have used a puller to attempt removal of the spacer but with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Steve

Gently heat the spline spacer with a hot air gun or similar and it will come straight off

No, there is a special puller, I think is called bearing separator. It will take it out with no problems.
