Hi. I don't recall the Golf ones being wind back, but it's certainly poss that they are, so don't overly force it.
If it is a wind back, and still stuck, then undoing the nipple may help, but could be seized at extended point depending on how low the pads were before removal.

Patience is the key, and gently gently
