Default Moving a sidewalk slab?

I would use the mower deck that probably unaligned it in the first
place.. hehe..

just thought i'd throw some humor in there (sorry if everyone is all
serious)

I've got one slab of sidewalk, about 30x48, that has drifted away from the front
porch. I'm looking for techniques to force it back, about 2", if possible.

Drive a wedge into the ground in front of it, and periodically pound it further
into the soil?

Attach a come-along to an edge, and slowly winch it closer?

Use a big ass pry bar and brute force?

Watcha think?



Dig down around it on 4 sides. Put 2x4's on the surface soil next to
it. Use a steel pry bar underneath and the 2x4 as a fulcrum to lift
it and move it back into position.
