Narrative:
It has been six weeks; to best of my memory I removed valve that was called out; was sent wrong valve; had to wait for new; correct valve. Changed valve; did not safety attach bolts where the two valves meet; it did not come in safetied and there is no access to safety. The attach bolts on the forward side were safetied as there was access. Operational check with fellow mechanic who pressurized hydraulics; I operated manual controls for gear doors from ground; leak check was good; no leaks; message went away; signed off item.
