Narrative:

During walkaround of an A330 a hydraulic leak was found coming from the gear door/landing gear manifold in the top of the wheelwell. I notified maintenance control to order a new manifold. Air carrier Y loaned the part, flown aog to ZZZZ. I fitted the manifold with technician X. I completed the installation as per the maintenance manual but referenced the incorrect tank in the logbook and missed the requirement for a gear swing. Maintenance control also did not notify me of this requirement.
