Remove the spinners and take it for a cruise on some winding roads.
Just kidding. DO NOT DO THAT.
You might seriously try loosening up the spinners, setting it down on
the wheels (if you've got tires on the wheels still!), and then rock
the car back and forth sideways -- kind of a sideways push more than
a rocking motion, I guess. You could also try setting the brakes, if
they work (somebody sits in the car and pushes on the pedal) while
you try to push the car back and forth a bit.
Just what I can think of off the top of my head.
HTH,
