A drive system 50 for rotating a wheel of an aircraft landing gear 10 includes a motor 52 operable to rotate a drive pinion 60, and a driven gear 20 adapted to be mounted to the wheel. The drive system has a first configuration (fig 3) in which the drive pinion is capable of meshing with the driven gear to permit the motor to drive the driven gear and a second configuration (fig 4) in which the drive pinion is not capable of meshing with the driven gear. The drive system includes a linear positioning actuator 58 for moving the drive pinion relative to the driven gear. The positioning actuator has a first 30 end and a second end 32. The first end has a pivotal connection with a pivot axis 34 spaced at a fixed distance from an axis of rotation 38 of the driven gear, and the second end has a pivotal connection with a pivot axis 36 spaced at a fixed distance from an axis of rotation 40 of the drive pinion.
