Narrative:
I was made aware this morning that I was involved in a maintenance event on aircraft X. Myself and another aircraft maintenance technician (amt) were assigned to help another amt on a tire change. When asked what we needed to bring he said; the normal equipment for a tire change and a tablet was onsite. When myself and the other amt arrived; we changed the tire just like any other tire change. I have since been informed that myself or the other amt mistakenly did not install the tab washer.during the process of this job; and doing repetitive maintenance; somehow the tab washer was missed upon installation.reading the maintenance manual verbatim to avoid missing something due to repetitive action of an item that I am comfortable doing. Better communication between co-workers.
