CE680 flight crew report about their efforts to get a nose landing gear (nlg) to retract and then to extend; prior to declaring an emergency and landing in a nose gear 'up' condition. Two aircraft maintenance technicians also report how incorrect maintenance drawings and lack of a required landing gear swing contributed to the incident after they had completed a mandatory service bulletin for replacement of the nlg aft actuator isolation pin.

Narrative:
I was assisting; complying with a mandatory service letter (SL); cessna information letter (cil); SL cil 32-02-R1. We followed the instructions per the service letter which stated a [landing] gear swing was not required if the nose landing gear (nlg) actuator was not removed to replace the pin associated with SL. We were notified after the aircraft departed that the [flight] crew was experiencing a problem with the nlg. The decision was made to divert the aircraft to the manufacturer's repair station and perform a nose gear 'up' landing. The aircraft landed without any injury to crew and minimal damage to aircraft. The aircraft was removed from the runway and we are awaiting word of problem. Gear doors and radome affected areas.
