Narrative:

Reference non-routine work card (nrwc) C13XXX. Both the left and right elevator gear tab outboard crank fitting to pushrod bolt heads installed [facing] inboard. I removed and reinstalled (right/right) both the left and right outboard gear tab bolts with the heads facing outboard. I generated this nrwc because of the problem that I had with aircraft Y; reference nrwc C12XXX; and I was still under the impression that the bolt head should be installed facing outboard which I was incorrect. Improper installation. Hangar: routine overnight maintenance (ron).
