It's times like this when I do a bit of mental arithmetic and work out how far a long the breaker bar a 15 stone bloke needs to be...   :-X

Its a very different setup to the Omega being front wheel drive with CV joints.

So:

Wheel bearing unit to steering knuckle bolts (3 off) 130Nm with thread lock.
Cv joint to wheel bering unit retaining bolt (1 off) 160Nm.

When fitting the unit, I seem to recall that the ABS senosr wire needs to be at 6 Oclock so check its location when you take the old one off.
