Anothe funny thing about the 767 landing gear is, that the retraction mechanism does not completely fit into the wing.
Therefor a small door in the wing upper skin has to be opened during the gear retraction, giving the hydraulic retraction linkage the space it needs.
So the 767 does not only open the large landing gear dors on the belly for retraction, but also a small door on the upper wing surface.
