If you are planning on keeping the Focus and are at all mechanically inclined, invest in the Haynes Manual.

Disk brakes generally aren't that difficult, drums are a little trickier, but doing them yourself can save $200-$300, which will pay for a C-clamp, a set of sockets, etc. if you haven't got them already.
It would be helpful to have someone knowledgeable with you the first time, though. At 108k you may have a few seized items that you'll need to pay special attention to (caliper sliders, drum adjustment wheels, etc.).
