Narrative:

On aug/fri/00, I was assigned aircraft xyz to complete troubleshooting and repairs to the in-flight wheel braking system. All repairs were completed per our maintenance manual and I cleared MEL 32-17. There was no indication of a nosewheel braking problem on this aircraft or that the nose brakes were removed. I have been made aware that there may have been a possible safety or rule violation. I believe that the MEL procedures for 32-17 are unclr in this case.
