Can I get an estimate on how much I should expect to pay?
I figure a new SVT Focus pump ($135 w/ warranty) plus how many hours of work it takes to install.
Shop I'm using charges about $65 an hour of labor.

 

Do it yourself. It can be done in about an hour with simple hand tools.

 

IT SHOULDNT TAKE A SHOP MORE THAN 3 HOURS TO DO IT MORE LIKE 2 ID ASK THEM BEFORE THEY DID IT!

 

Agreed. Do it yourself, it's quite easy. One tip I can suggest is when you jack up the rear...make sure you jack it up high enough so you can drop the tank and have enough room to look into it. I didn't jack my car up high enough and then had to squeeze my head between the tank and the car....smells bad.

Took me more than an hour though.

Here's the write up I followed.

 

...Is it REALLY that easy?[:-]

 

yes 45 mins first time

 

in the 2007 it takes 20 minutes to get the pump out and 20 minutes to reinstall it and u are done and u can just replace just the pump u can do hole job for under 100 thanks

 

Just ask your local guy.What it should cost and what it will cost might be two different matters.If you respect him,you can't tell him upfront that some guys on a forum told you not to pay more than 50 bucks.A guy charging 120 an hour might factor time in a way different from a guy charging 65.
