What car is it..... ie, exact model..... most rear wheels will be hard to turn due to the lsd in the rear, the fronts shouldn't be too bad.. unless you have an lsd in there aswell...

the subaru is 4 wheel drive so all wheels are attached to driveshafts that are in turn attached to diffs!

this is your problem, if you detach the driveshafts the wheels will turn freely but you will lose drive to that wheel
