Narrative:
Discovered #3 main landing gear brake out of limits. Myself and a co-worker removed and replaced the #3 main landing gear brake. I asked my acting lead mechanic if this task required a confirmation check; and he replied no. So I signed off the brake change in the logbook and not notating that it required an rii. The aircraft was released in the morning and as far as I know continued flying. In jan/09 I was in a discussion with the assigned lead mechanic when I made the discovery of the brake requiring an rii. For this reason I am doing a report. Suggest more in-depth research of required riis. Easier accessibility of riis available to mechanics. Required documents; i.e.; work cards; reflecting items that are riis. Failure of acting lead mechanic to notify me of rii and not having done this type of brake change on B757 fleet.
