[ODE] Retractable gears (hinge2)

Hello..

If I want to simulate retracting gears (much like aircraft gears, thats 
what I'm modelling..), what are my options?

Haven't tried anything but thought about these methods:

1. Attach a hinge2 to a subbody and then rotate the subbody
2. Rotate the anchor point manually and update axis1 accordingly

Or am I missing some other obvious way?

Cheers!
