They don’t need to be reinstalled. I was gentle with the first set but then when I realized they weren’t going back on I just gorilla’d the others off and tossed them.

Make damm sure the studs do not extend past the spacer or your wheel will not tighten to the spacer properly.
A few of my stud stuck out just a hair past the spacer and I had a wheel almost fall off!!!!!!!!!!!

No washers, zero, zilch, nada. If the washers are left on, the spacer and rotor are not flush. Then they work their way up the studs and cause the spacer to separate from the rotor.
