Just the barrel for sure - 10 minutes max - simple hand tools - lots of write ups online ... make sure you consider the PATS issue when changing ignition locks, probably easiest to re-key the new ignition switch to accept your existing key, as the key that goes with your new ignition will not "unlock" the Passive Antitheft System built into the ECU.
BTW - not sure why you are changing ignition locks, but there are many problems with the Focus and anything you get from the wreckers might very well be suffering from the same problem - I would def recommend a new ignition vs. a used one.
