Narrative:
A co-worker informed me today that I may be in violation of a pending FAA airworthiness directive and; after further research; he may be correct. The work card was not followed exactly as written; as it was a bit confusing with the conflicting information provided. The drawing for the completion of this task shows that the grounding stud is not to be removed; which the work card later states that the drawing is wrong. I do believe that I did not remove the ground stud from the existing bracket. I also did not apply enamel bms 10-11 type ii. I did sign for the procedures being completed; which were not. I did not understand the paperwork as there was conflicting information; therefore; I used improper procedures to which the task was not completed.
