Chock Chucker, of course you are totally correct that everything should be done IAW correct maintenance manuals, especially for safety items, however our tangents have all been door related, especially the Airbus door assist mechanisms and 737 slides. Nobody should be using a web forum as gospel for doing their job, but the odd snipet of info guiding sombebody to look up the info from an approved source is not the worst thing that can happen.
