Narrative:

Cleared visual approach to follow company aircraft. Aircraft configured with slats/flaps 20 degrees. Captain directed gear down. Both mains came down with safe indications; nose gear indicated unsafe on both indicator panels. Consulted aircraft manuals and complied with instructions to manually extend the nose gear using a crank. Procedure was successful; landed uneventfully. Stopped on runway due to loss of nosewheel steering.
