I came up with a fairly simple idea using hydraulics with brake
master cylinders to supply pressure. Problem is the wheel will either
still steer when retracted making for a big wheel well or any disconnect
system I can think of becomes complex beyond my pay grade.

I had considered cables but every sketch or model I can think of
tends to put a lot off stress on the cables or downloads tension when
retracted depending on which side of the pivot point the pulleys are.
This makes for some interesting spring configurations. If anyone has
solved that I'd like to hear what solution was derived.

The T bar idea Bildan suggests is interesting. I will have to do some
cogitation on that one.
