Are you sure about that?  I was a crew chief on F-4Ds which had hydraulic
wing folding.  It's been a long time, but as I recall the locks, which were
located at the wing fold, had to be backed out by hand and then the
hydraulic mechanism could be activated.  The hydraulic control was located
in the left wheel well.  I know the F-4E deleted the hydraulics, I assumed
that would remove anything related to wing folding from the wheel well.
