Narrative:
After replacing #1 brake and reinstalling #1 main tire I began to install the hubcap cover-plate; but was called to recover another aircraft that was assigned to me on the other side of the field. Returned to aircraft and proceeded to fill out brake tag. After that I began my cleanup and finally shut the plane down. I thought I had already finished the task prior to being distraction with additional aircraft. I was feeling stressed at finishing the task while still having enough time to finish inspection on next aircraft. I should have stayed with one task until completed before starting another. Next time I will finish the task at hand and ensure its completion.
