Ford Escort 1.6i Finesse Estate - Rear wheel bearing torque required - kartman

Having replaced a rear wheel bearing on my car 3 weeks ago and been advised by a friendly garage that the torque should be 260lbs which i was horrified at as that seems more like a front wheel bearing torque it is now very noisy. I am sure they have given me the wrong info, can someone give me the correct torque setting and i will have to replace it again. Many thanks........Martin
