It's an expression that means put as much effort as you can into something.
In the context of the passage, the woman wants to put as much arm strength into the spin of the wheel as she can. There is no actual wheel; it's a metaphor.
The meaning of the passage can be seen by paraphrasing it as follows:
Jeannette wanted to put as much effort into preparing for her parole hearing as she was capable of.
