I was changing 3 main tires and a nose tire on a MD-11. It was raining; dark and pretty windy. I was just informed today that apparently on one of the tires I changed (#6); that the axle sleeve (which should not come off) did slide off with the old tire and all I can say is that I simply did not notice that it stuck in the tire or noticed when I packaged up the old tire that it was in the tire assembly. The aircraft departed my station the next day to ZZZ. There it had a #6 anti-skid issue and they had to change the transducer as it had been damaged. It flew to ZZZ1 next and when it arrived to the gate; the hubcap was broken; the anti-skid transducer again was damaged; tire pressure connector mangled and it was discovered the axle sleeve was missing. I knew the aircraft had been down in ZZZ1 for the incident; but it was not known to me until a few weeks later that the axle sleeve had been found at the vendor in the tire that I had changed in ZZZ2.Well; AMM 32-XX-XX-X-X does tell you to inspect the axle sleeve to ensure that the tab at the outboard end is not broken and is bent into the axle slot to prevent sleeve rotation. I obviously did not do that. To prevent this form of event from happening again; I need to slow down and examine my work more closely when I am doing repetitive jobs.
Technician reported overlooking the axle sleeve being removed with the old tire and wheel assembly and not reinstalled; causing repetitive damage to the aircraft at other stations.
