Final narrative
An employee was preparing to remove the nose landing gear (NLG) assembly. The employee removed the nut from the connecting pin, which links the lower drag brace to the NLG assembly. As the employee was pushing the pin with their left hand and pulling it out of the connection hole with their right hand, the NLG assembly released and swung aft, amputating their left middle fingertip.
