Does the FAA have a document that details each step found in a Component Maintenance Manual? Is there a standard FAA document type for 'general' maintenance steps that a Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) can reference?

For example:


  Once the bulb has been locked into the socket, reference the bulb
  cleaning section in Document XYZ for the complete bulb cleaning
  procedure.


Where can I find Document XYZ?
In general aviation and even working in FBOs, I have referenced AC43.13 to approve repairs that the CMM does not cover. These processes and techniques are approved by the Administrator. In general terms, the FAA tends not to tell you how to meet a requirement but rather gives the requirement then the organization has to meet that requirement through a FAA approved QMS. This process is applicable regardless if you are working with the MIDO, ACO, or FISO. In order to get down in the weeds, you would have to be very specific in your question.

Here is the link to FAA AC43.13 for everyone's review.
