At least on 81JM, it is slightly complicated. There is a handle
directly attached to the landing gear spring bar, but atop it is a bar
that must first be rotated to pull the locking pins out of the hinge
lock holes. Then it is pushed down as far as the arm can reach and
caught with the toe of your foot and pushed on down. Believe it or
not, you then catch the latch bar with your other foot and rotate it
to push the latching pins into to the gear up lock holes. After
thirty years, this motion has become completely natural though I often
fly some odd near airabatics doing it.

Gary,
I'm glad you have the maneuver mastered but don't forget, John Denver
died because of some unorthodox setup of the fuel selector valve. Don't
join him.
