Narrative:

I was changing the left nose tire [on a B767-300] because it showed signs of wear. I used the correct maintenance manual 32-45-02; page 401. I used the new tooling designed to release when a spacer is missing. I believe I installed all parts and retorqued tire correctly. The company informed me that they found the washer not installed on tire next to retaining nut. The plane never incurred any damage or delay to my knowledge.
